US West Communications in high-speed Internet plan Reuters Story - January 29, 1998 12:56 %ELI %ENT %US %BUS %TEL %DPR %ELC MSFT INTC CSCO V%REUTER P%RTR The high-speed Internet service was first deployed in late October in Phoenix, still the only city in the United States where Digital Subscriber Line service is broadly available. The service, to be available in phone networks serving 5.5 million customers in more than 40 cities by June, will be offered at an affordable, flat-rate prices starting at $40 a month for home users and $65 a month for business offices. "This is a renaissance of the copper phone network," Joe Zell, president of U S West's networking unit, said, referring to its high-speed Internet connections using the existing copper-wire phone network the company has laid over the years. ADSL connections give customers a constant link to the Internet by eliminating the waiting time required by modems to dial up and connect to the network and thereby provide near-instantaneous retrieval of information from Web sites. U S West said the ADSL system it was installing met industry standards set by top computer companies Microsoft Corp , Intel Corp and Cisco Systems Inc and the six major U.S. local phone carriers. Several Baby Bell phone companies have announced plans to roll out similar high-speed Internet services in their local phone regions during the coming year.
