The following Reuters article ties CPQ and COMS in an internet venture: (REUTERS) Sheraton to provide in-room Internet service Sheraton to provide in-room Internet service SEATTLE, Nov 5 (Reuters) - ITT Corp.'s Sheraton hotel chain will unveil new in-room technology Thursday aimed at its core market of business travelers. A company spokeswoman said the technology would include Internet service delivered through the television set as well as "a lot of other things." The announcement will be made at Microsoft Corp.'s headquarters outside Seattle and will include representatives of Compaq Computer Corp.'s Tandem unit, 3Com Corp. and Asia Connect of Malaysia. "This is not about delivering something you can get today," spokeswoman Dolores Sanchez said. "This is about combining all the things you could possibly get in your office and in your home and making it available in a very, very easy way." Company officials said the new system would allow travelers to establish an identity that could be used at any of Sheraton's 437 hotels worldwide to check electronic mail and voice mail and access other customized features.
