Barry, that's just the afternoon shift work team of lawyers. :-) Article...Australian TV Jumps Gun On Intel Venture March 27, 1998 SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, Newsbytes : Television station Channel Seven sprang a surprise on IntelAustralia [NASDAQ:INTC] yesterday, jumping the gun on announcement of a joint venture to deliver TV programs on personal computers using Intel's Intercast technology. "We are not ready to make any announcements at this time . . . we're still in the testing stages," said Kate Burleigh, Intel spokesperson. But Seven's corporate office was not so reticent. Apparently reacting to last week's flood of publicity for the Nine-MSN venture, between Kerry Packer's PBL Online and Microsoft, it had already issued a press statement announcing plans for Seven Online - including a joint venture with the chipmaker, and coincidentally, taking the credit for its Intercast technology. "In a joint venture with Intel, Seven has developed Intercast which is delivering broadcast television and a range of major Web sites to personal computers," said a press release. In the US, Intel Intercast content is mostly delivered by cable TV vendors. It offers enhanced TV information, delivered as part of the TV signal but viewed on a PC. Apart from the Intel venture, Seven said it was negotiating with a number of "major companies" to develop joint ventures in electronic commerce, banking travel, stockbroking and retail sectors. ______________________________________________________________________ Michael
