U.S. Companies Work on High Speed Internet Access Network January 11, 1999 Two U.S. technology companies announced Thursday that they intend to work with AT&T on a new Internet protocol network. The high-speed network, they said, will enable AT&T to offer services such as data, voice and video over the hybrid fiber co-axial network currently developed by AT&T and TCI, both providers of telecommunications services. AT&T customers will be able to simultaneously watch television, send and receive faxes, log on to the Internet and talk on the telephone. The plan of combining broadband Internet, phone and video services over a single cable line was proposed by Cisco, a worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, and General Instrument, a worldwide provider of integrated and interactive br oadband access solutions. According to Cisco, the collaboration will result in a new world network that will fundamentally change the way communication services are delivered to the consumer market. It would be a major step toward implementing future integrated data, voice and video telecommunications on a mass-market scale. The companies said they will conduct a market trial starting in late 1999, with the goal of providing commercial availability by next year. In another development, Cisco also announce Thursday that along with its partners in the consumer electronics world, it will begin selling cable modems that offer high-speed data, voice and video connections. The networking company also announced integrated products capable of creating home networks. Earlier this month, a study conducted by research firm Yankee Group showed that more and more American households are keen on home networks. This bodes well for the makers of such networking products such as Cisco. With the same Cisco technology that underpins vast corporate networks, families will soon be able to create local area networks connecting the kitchen to the living room. [Copyright 1999, Comtex]
