From CBS Morning Watch I have been reporting on this UK "free" internet offer since it started in the Fall. See how quickly it is turning into an IPO. As I pointed out, it is free with purchases of PC above a certain price. Some of these "free" internet services are being heavily criticised in the UK press. They are charging $1 or more a minute for telephone Help. "Dixons Group, the computer retailer that came up with the brilliant idea of free Internet access for Britain, named CS First Boston to look into a Net spinoff for the unit. Its stock has doubled or so since Jan. 2."

April 14, 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Novell CEO: Businesses Have 'No Choice' But E-Commerce Dow Jones Newswires By Bob Sechler HOUSTON, Texas (Dow Jones)--Novell Inc. (NOVL) Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said Wednesday that he expects all U.S. retailers to be selling products over the Internet by December. "Last Christmas, in my vision, was the last time that any U.S. retailer will not have a Web site where you can buy something," Schmidt said. He made his comments here in a speech at Compaq Computer Corp.'s (CPQ) Innovate Forum 99 conference Wednesday. The conference, designed for Compaq corporate customers, is devoted to showcasing Internet business strategies and solutions. Novell is a provider of network-services software. About 1.5 million Compaq servers have Novell systems installed on them, Schmidt said. He told several thousand Compaq customers in attendance that an Internet presence is essential for businesses today, echoing the conference's central theme. "It's now become clear, even to the most skeptical people, that the Internet does in fact change everything," Schmidt said. He also took the opportunity of his morning keynote address to tout his company's products. He demonstrated Novell's new Internet Caching System, among other products, which is designed to improve performance of large servers by taking over routine duties. He also discussed the latest version of his company's NetWare network operating system. Version 5 is expected to surpass sales of all other versions "very soon," he said. - Bob Sechler; 512-236-9637
