More: Com offers Taiwan high-speed Internet access SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb 8 (Reuters) - Internet equipment supplier 3Com Corp. <COMS.O> and a Taiwanese Internet service provider on Monday said they would offer high-speed Internet access service to about 60 percent of cable households in Taiwan. Hoshin Gigamedia Center Inc., a unit of Taiwan-based Koos Group, has been evaluating the equipment and service in Taiwan since September 1998 and selected 3Com to provide the ultra-fast cable modems and cable system technology, including utilizing its retail and other distribution channels. Gigamedia, which will offer 3Com's cable modem to enable connections up to 100 times faster than conventional dial-up modems, will be available to about 3.4 million subscribers. "We are very pleased to work with Gigamedia in introducing this service to the Taiwanese market and supporting additional broadband services and markets over the forthcoming years," said Levent Gun, vice president and general manager of 3Com's Cable Access group. "This is a significant relationship for 3Com in the Asia-Pacific region, and we plan to leverage all our technological and channel experience to make Koos Group deployments as successful as possible." The "plug-and-play" modems are as simple to install as a standard analog modem, requiring only a screwdriver.
