Paul:This might be what you are implying. (COMTEX) B: RealNetworks tuned in by AOL B: RealNetworks tuned in by AOL Washington, DC, Sep. 28, 1998 (The Content Factory via COMTEX) -- Shares of RealNetworks Inc. (RNWK) soared 23 percent Monday after the company said its technology for delivering audio and video programming over the Internet will be part of America Online's new software. By becoming the default online media player for AOL (AOL), the deal also gives RealNetworks a leg up on Microsoft's (MSFT) competing product, NetShow. A similar bundling-default deal is expected this week involving RealNetworks and Netscape Communications. Corp.'s (NSCP) Communicator software. "This deal has got to be considered a major coup for RealNetworks, and will add significantly to their user base," said Peter Krasilovsky, vice president of Arlen Communications Inc., a media research firm based in Bethesda, Md. "Most of AOL's 13 million users were up for grabs when it came to audio and video steaming tools. Now these mainstream users will default to RealPlayer. One can assume that once they start using RealPlayer, these users won't proactively search for alternatives.'" See full story. -0- Copyright 1998 The Content Factory * end of story *
