AT&T='s Diversity-what else will they go after? AT&T and ChatSpace to Combine Internet Chat With Voice Technology Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 1998--ChatSpace, Inc., the award-winning provider of Windows-based chat solutions for online businesses and educational institutions, today announces a new relationship with AT&T.

AT&T is offering developers a Software Development Toolkit comprised of the AT&T Application Programming Interface (API) code and documentation, making it easy for them to integrate voice-enabling technology into their solutions. ChatSpace has agreed to license this toolkit for inclusion in a future version of its Java-based chat client. This will make accessing AT&T Chat 'N Talk just a click away for ChatSpace users. "Our small business users need reliable tools that let them interact with their customers," Olinger added. "AT&T is a trusted name in providing voice services to business.
