Tony, Hi speed internet access equals ability to transfer video without huge waiting times.--Like downloading a 23 MEG file in 1min. 23 seconds-- Large numbers of people downloading video equals greater need for hi power servers(Xeon). The first step though is to get people used to working with still graphics through this program. This will transition people from text heavy web pages to graphics laden content. Then to video later down the road (vid tel etc.) This is an excellent marketing move by Intel. They should further supplement it by pushing the hell out of it at schools. Forget them tin foil bunnies!!! Spend the marketing money directly on the digital kids @home home.net REDWOOD CITY, Calif., October 5, 1998 - @Home Network (Nasdaq: ATHM), the leading provider of high-speed cable Internet services, today announced it is working with Intel Corporation to create "Making Pictures," a broadband portal to digital imaging, photography tools and educational resources. "Making Pictures" will be a place where analog and digital photographers can come together online to share and process images, learn about imaging tools, and enjoy the best of photography. By removing the bandwidth limitations associated with traditional dial-up connections, "Making Pictures" will act as a catalyst for @Home subscribers to get more enjoyment out of making and sharing pictures. @Home and Intel will develop a "Making Pictures" area on the @Home service that will integrate the best content of the Web. Whether it be an amateur or professional photographer, "Making Pictures" will be a one-stop resource for users where they will be able to develop and digitize film, create and distribute digital images and learn about the latest imaging products. Digital imaging combined with @Home's high speed network will enable consumers to work with pictures in a whole new way. For example, they will be able to digitally retrieve processed rolls of film, buy high quality prints, add images to their Web sites, exchange digital photo greeting cards and create family albums faster and easier than with traditional dial-up services. "Our work with @Home covers two important areas for Intel," said Don Whiteside, general manager of Intel's digital imaging and video division. "First, we are providing a visually exciting environment for consumers to actively learn about and enjoy the benefits of digital imaging. And second, broadband efforts like @Home's solution for high speed Internet services address Intel's ongoing efforts to make PCs, and digital imaging, simple, fast, fun and affordable." "Making Pictures is another step in facilitating the connection of IP-based technologies in the home -- digital cameras, the Internet and PCs -- to deliver a compelling user experience," said Dave Bagshaw, senior vice president and general manager of @Media for @Home Network. "@Home and Intel are opening new doors for consumers to share visual media and imaging resources in an exciting and efficient way."
