Intel invests @Home and
abroad
By Reuters
Special to CNET News.com
October 28, 1998, 8:00 a.m. PT

Intel said today that it will invest $20 million in
the Dutch operations of U.S-based @Home
Network's subsidiary, @Home Nederland, to
provide high-speed cable Internet services.

Redwood City, California-based @Home, a
provider of high-speed Internet access via
cable television wiring, recently formed a
joint venture with Dutch cable operators
Edon/CasTel and Palet Kabelcom to provide
high speed data services in the Netherlands.

California-based
Intel, the world's
largest computer
chipmaker, and
maker of computer
networking and
communications
equipment, said it is
investing in the
venture to help speed
deployment of
broadband services in the region.

CasTel's and Palet's combined 1.4 million
households, representing more than 20
percent of Dutch homes, the companies said
in a joint statement originally released in
Amsterdam.

Cable operators are expanding the use of
the thicker hybrid-fiber coaxial cable, now
primarily used to deliver television pictures to
homes, in order to provide interactive data
services, such as access to the Internet and
movies on demand, at greatly increase
speeds compared to ordinary telephone
lines.

"Intel's proposed involvement in @Home
Nederland will bring a tremendous boost to
our plans to bring state-of-the-art broadband
online services to Dutch and Belgian
customers," said John O'Farrell, senior vice
president of international, @Home Network.

Intel is an investor in CNET: The Computer
Network.
