[Information Services news] The best synopsis of Information Services news I know of: ispo.cec.be In part: <<< MULTIMEDIA SERVICES AND PRODUCTS The French telecoms giant Alcatel said the French and Spanish national telecoms operator France Tlcom and Telefonica would test its ADSL technology, which allows for the high-speed transmission of digitised data over regular phone lines. Other companies that are testing or commercially deploying Alcatel's ADSL include Ameritech, Belgacom, Bell Canada, BellSouth, BT, Pacific Bell, Singapore Telecom, SouthWestern Bell and Telia, thus giving Alcatel 30% of the world's ADSL market. Pilot projects have also been ordered in Denmark, Japan and South Korea.>>> If you can't get it, let me know and I'll post the rest. Pat
