I am sorry and stand corrected. Yes, I know that. Somone asked for background and in my haste I typed in the wrong url--worldgate instead of wgate--to get corporate background. My apologies. 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.
