AOL, Hughes ink deal to push TV, 'Net services By NANCY WEIL IDG News Service, 06/22/99 America Online and Hughes Electronics yesterday deepened an existing partnership by announcing a joint effort to develop and market integrated digital entertainment and Internet services in the U.S. AOL is investing $1.5 billion in a General Motors equity security. Ultimately, this AOL investment will lead GM to put that same amount of money into a Hughes security. Hughes will then market AOL TV, AOL-Plus, a high-speed Internet service as well as speed growth in Hughes' DirecTV and DirecPC. The Hughes marketing push will cover three years. In addition, Hughes will invest $1.4 billion to design, manufacture and launch its new North American satellite system for two-way broadband connectivity. The system, called Spaceway, will launch in 2002. AOL and Hughes also will examine broadband satellite possibilities in Latin America. The two companies have an existing agreement to create a set-top receiver for DirecTV and AOL TV, making those offerings available next year to consumers. The deal also calls for AOL-Plus to be available across the U.S. via the DirecPC satellite Internet network by early next year. AOL is working with Bell Atlantic and SBC Communications to provide digital subscriber line broadband Internet connectivity to AOL subscribers. I read comment that we might be able to look at AOL after Spaceway is launched in 2002 as having a nation wide telecommunication foot print.. So AOL becomes a national telephone company. <ggg> Greg
