Microsoft, Intel to unveil telecom alliance - FT

LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Intel (Nasdaq:INTC - news) are expected to announce a joint attack on the fast-growing telecommunications equipment business on Monday, the Financial Times reported.

The newspaper said in its Monday edition that the two companies will unveil an alliance with hardware producers Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP - news) and Northern Telecom Ltd. (Toronto:NTL.TO - news), also known as Nortel Networks.

If successful, the alliance could open up a huge market for Microsoft's Windows NT operating system and Intel's Pentium microprocessor, the report said. The venture is seen as possibly advancing the introduction of corporate networks combining voice, data and video signals on the same infrastructure, the report said.
