AT&T, Motorola, Lucent Develop Voice-Based Internet New York, March 2 (Bloomberg) -- AT&T Corp., Motorola Inc. and Lucent Technologies Inc. said they formed an alliance to create a software language that lets phone users call up and have Internet information read to them. E-mail is the number one reason people use the internet now, PC are the number one device for e-mail. Going forward PC will NOT be the number device to access the internet. The companies expect to unveil the first version of specifications for the language next month and submit the final version for approval by the World Wide Web Consortium by year- end. The alliance is aimed at expanding the Internet beyond the personal computer. With voice-based Internet services, phone users could dial in for e-mail, traffic updates and other information. ''The ordinary touch-tone phone literally becomes a ubiquitous Internet access device,'' said Larry Rabiner, vice president of research at AT&T Labs. The alliance combines separate voice-recognition projects already under way at AT&T, the No. 1 U.S. long-distance phone company; Lucent, the world's top phone-equipment maker; and Motorola, the No. 2 maker of cellular phones. The companies are calling the project the Voice eXtensible Markup Language, or VXML, Forum. The new language is named after Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, the standard for programs written for the Internet. HTML helped spur growth in applications for the global computer network by making it easier for programmers to create software that worked universally for Internet users. Markup languages have common commands for functions such as putting pictures on Web pages. Other computer and software makers and technology companies, including International Business Machines Corp., Northern Telecom Ltd., Unisys Corp. and General Magic Inc., have agreed to support the VXML alliance. Shares of New York-based AT&T rose 15/16 to 82 3/16 in early trading, while Murray Hill, New Jersey-based Lucent rose 11/16 to 103 9/16, and Schaumburg, Illinois-based Motorola rose 7/8 to 68 13/16.
