Another CHTR article in Seattle Times Perhaps this is the same article Carolyn posted yesterday seattletimes.com .............................................. Posted at 07:16 a.m. PST; Thursday, December 2, 1999 ALLEN'S 'WIRED WORLD' TO TAKE ROOT IN ST. LOUIS by The Associated Press ST. LOUIS - Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has a vision for the future of telecommunications, and St. Louis is set to become his showplace. "If you want to keep an eye out for the future, I'd keep an eye on St. Louis," said Stephen Silva, senior vice president of Charter Communications, Allen's cable-television company. Charter, the nation's fourth-largest cable company, announced yesterday it has swapped its cable systems in Fort Worth, Texas, and five states for the AT&T Broadband and Internet Services outlet in St. Louis. The plan is simple, said Charter CEO Jerald Kent: St. Louis will serve as the beta site for the company's plans to offer phone, Internet and interactive video services over cable-TV lines. "Paul Allen is a visionary," Kent said. "This will be the test bed for all of Paul Allen's visions." Allen had been advocating such a system for years, and he has been busy amassing an array of holdings in high-tech and entertainment firms as part of his "wired world" strategy. His entry into the cable-TV business in 1998 was seen as a strong endorsement of that technology as a carrier of entertainment and interactive services. Kent said those services will make their debut in St. Louis before Charter offers them to customers nationwide. "We hope to make our hometown the envy of the telecommunications industry," Kent said. One of the first of those services was announced yesterday. Expected to begin testing in December, with full introduction expected late next year, Charter's "broadband portal" will allow customers to access streaming media and other Internet services on demand while they watch television or use their computer. "The whole idea is to give the customer access to a broader range of information," Silva said. Charter plans to develop content for the broadband portal, as well as tapping content already on the Internet. Copyright ¸ 1999 The Seattle Times Company
