Corrections--wrong background on the wrong worldgate (going to fast). Here is the correct corp. description. AGAIN, THIS NEWS IN NOT ON THE WIRES YET! Corporate Information WorldGateSM Communications, Inc, was founded in 1995 by former General Instrument employees. It is a privately held company headquartered in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. WorldGateSM Communications, Inc. provides a cable service that enables low cost Internet access for consumers through the cable system, without the need for a PC, modem, or any additional in-home equipment. The company has announced both domestic and international Internet service test agreements with companies representing over 35 million basic cable households. At a suggested retail monthly fee of $4.95, the revolutionary WorldGateSM service (patents applied for) is the cable industry's first interactive Internet service which uses an advanced analog or digital cable converter, the existing TV set and a remote control. No PC or other set-top box is required, nor is there any use of the cable company's video spectrum. Using the vertical blanking interval, a normally unused portion of the video spectrum, the existing cable infrastructure will allow WorldGateSM to offer data rate speeds of 128,000 bits per second, over 4 times faster than a standard telephone modem. Additionally, WorldGateSM has pioneered Channel HyperLinkingSM (patents applied for), the ability of subscribers with a single keystroke, to connect directly to a Web site associated with a TV show or commercial announcement. Logging on to the service, for E-mail, Web browsing or Channel HyperLinkingSM, requires less than five seconds.
