AtHome teams with Microsoft to accelerate growth

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 13 (Reuters) - AtHome Corp
Thursday said its new AtHome Solutions division has
teamed with Microsoft Corp. to help speed the
introduction of its high-speed Internet services into small
markets.
It said the companies would incorporate Microsoft's
operating system into AtHome's network and also provide support
to help market AtHome's service.
"This is an exciting step that will further accelerate the
wide-scale availability of broadband services for both
consumers and businesses," said Thomas Kroll, vice president of
the Network Solutions Group at Microsoft.
AtHome formed AtHome Solutions earlier this year to help it
reach homes that were served by small and mid-sized cable
operators. AtHome, which delivers high-speed Internet access
over cable lines, estimates about 15 million U.S. homes are
served by small, local cable operators.
The company already has partnerships with 21 major cable
service providers, and plans to pursue similar relationships
with some of the smaller players.
