More news, could be good for PAIR: 08:28 PM ET 11/16/98SBC to expand Calif. high-speed Internet service NEW YORK, Nov 16 (Reuters) - SBC Communications Inc. plans to expand its existing high-speed Internet service in California next year, SBC chairman Ed Whitacre saidMonday. The service, which uses a technology known as Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), allows local phone service providers such as SBC to deliver near-instantaneous Internet access over standard phone lines. "We're poised to make a large announcement in California, putting ADSL in front of a million customers," Whitacre told investors at the Warburg Dillon Read Telecom Conference in NewYork. Whitacre said revenues per customer for ADSL service would be about $50 to $60 a month, or more than double the rate customers pay for slower speed, so-called "dial up" access, that is the primary way computers users link to the Internet. Separately, Whitacre said his company was "very, very interested" in potential investments in cellular properties, responding to a question about whether it would consider adding additional cellular properties. Whitacre said SBC's existing wireless operations continue to grow despite competition and margins continue to remainstrong. ((New York Newsdesk (212) 859-1700))
