INTERNET--(esecurities.W)--May 24, 1999 - AT&T Click2Dial vs. 'ThrustMaster's' iConference.
More ThrustMaster Smoking Guns?; Does 'ThrustMaster' have the requisite Critical Mass to be taken serious as an Internet Telephony Player?
AT&Ts [new] <= 7-person Internet conferencing 'rated service' Click2Dial "...Be one of the first to try AT&T's new interactive conference calling. Now you don't need an operator or special equipment to set up a conference call. All you need is your computer, internet access and a telephone to hold a business meeting with up to seven people. The people you call simply need an ordinary telephone.
You can also use AT&T Click2Dial Conferencing with your family and friends for birthdays, reunions, holidays or just getting together to catch up. What's more, you are in total control. You can add, drop, mute and see who's on the call. Just download the FREE AT&T Inter@ctive Communications software and you can immediately create and conduct your own conference calls. Conference Calls are now easy calls to make..." SOURCE: © 1999 AT&T click2dial.att.com
...several substantive issues...contemporaneous with Talk n' Play issues e.g. Mpath, hearme.com, Roger Wilco...TMSR is launching iConference sadly as a 'ThrustMaster' product vs. a newly-emerged WeCanTalk.com IPO post ThrustMaster divestiture...'ThrustMaster' simply lacks requisite 'branding' credibility as an Internet Telephony player...also lacks the critically requisite Yahoo!, Amazon, IDTC Internet Business Model/Critical Mass generator..i.e. Talk n' Play, iConference should have been/be announcing HUGE [ATT, MCI, IDT, Yahoo!, Geocities.com, XOOM.com, Deutsche Telekom, iVillage, TheGlobe.com, MindSpring, TalkCity, ...ad infinitum] alliances on a daily/weekly basis with no end on sight...it's mid-May where is iConference? along with the WON.net and EarthLink - Talk n' Play 'formal' launch[es] [formally] announced Q1 1999?...and ThrustMaster Direct st6.yahoo.net should simply be the [de facto] DELL of gaming hardware with 'Mountain Dew'-like compelling internet advertising on, at least, the top ten (10) sites at hot100.com ... another Resnick issue?...
