Intel and Compaq say "Let Saigons be Bye-gones" "Compaq Computer Corp. [NYSE:CPQ] and Intel Corp. [NASDAQ:INTC] have joined with Vietnam's VASC (Value Added Service Center) to establish a Vietnamese electronic marketplace for local businesses. The B2B marketplace will be Internet-based, built on Intel hardware, and with software written by VASC - an IT services subsidiary of state-owned Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (VNPT). " Paul {==========================} newsalert.com June 21, 2000 21:02 Computer Giants Join Vietnamese B2B Venture HANOI, VIETNAM, 2000 JUN 21 (NB) -- By Adam Creed, Newsbytes. US-based computer giants Compaq Computer Corp. [NYSE:CPQ] and Intel Corp. [NASDAQ:INTC] have joined with Vietnam's VASC (Value Added Service Center) to establish a Vietnamese electronic marketplace for local businesses. The B2B marketplace will be Internet-based, built on Intel hardware, and with software written by VASC - an IT services subsidiary of state-owned Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (VNPT). Local companies will be able buy or sell products over the Internet. While business-to-consumer transactions are attractive to the partners, Intel believes that Vietnam is at an early stage of e-commerce and lacks the Internet, banking and regulatory infrastructure necessary. News service VNS quotes a VASC executive saying that the Vietnamese state-owned banks are too slow to respond to changes in world business practices, although there is hope awareness is growing. "In fact, they are reluctant to participate in our e-market due to their low awareness of the concept as well as poor technological capabilities," the VASC executive said, adding that it would take Vietnam a long time to develop e-business as most companies face a shortage of finance, poor infrastructure, a poorly developed banking sector and a lack of legal safeguards.

Hi Paul and Thread, re: appliances and phones You know what I really need to find: I need to find a way to port my phone #s from MS Outlook (on my PC) into Motorola's StarTac cell phone. Or, I need to find a different cell phone that will let me do this. Any suggestions? Thank you, Amy J

Paul, Great news/Great name on the Intel Dot.Station. The articles are very lean on specs, I wonder about the hard drive, memory, and graphics/audio. Can it be networked with another PC with high speed Internet access? Expandable (I doubt it)? There could be some end user demand that doesn't want to sign up with the ISP's. I'm sure that Intel doesn't wants to get into selling through retail channels, because of the suggestion that they are competing with their OEM customers. It will be very interesting to see how well this is received by the end user. Thanks for the articles. John
