Dell and Broadband - The following may provide some insight into their thinking on how broadband will impact demand for PC's. More detailed info can be found in white papers on their web site. <<Broadband - in general - Dell ConnectDirect initiative Dell ConnectDirect Dell continues to evaluate the feasibility and relevance of emerging broadband access technologies. Recognizing the importance of DSL and cable modem technologies, Dell is developing new products to enable customers to use these access methods as they become available. For example, Dell has partnered with US WEST, Bell Atlantic, and SBC Communications to offer ADSL-ready Dell Dimension computers to their customers that have access to ADSL service. Similarly, in October 1998, Dell announced a partnership with @Home Network to provide Dell customers with easy access to the @Home broadband HFC network. Implementation is planned by July 1, 1999 in @Home service areas in North America. Meanwhile, @Home customers can purchase Dimension computers equipped with Ethernet network interface controllers (NICs), ready for connection to a cable modem. The Dell ConnectDirect initiative also offers customers an easy Internet setup and sign-on process. Customers can choose Internet access from leading ISPs, including V.90 dial-up accounts, and have access to personalized Web home pages and content. Broadband - ADSL Dell has announced key partnerships with U S WEST, Southwestern Bell Corporation (SBC), and Bell Atlantic to deploy full-rate ADSL-enabled PCs to customers in U S WEST, SBC, and Bell Atlantic service regions. Dell will continue to monitor the progress of the G.lite standard and interoperability testing. Dell's build-to-order capabilities allow Dell to customize PCs with broadband solutions based on DSL service rollout locations, business demands, provisioned service, and the budget requirements of the customer>> I just bought more AWRE (for the 4th time) in the last few hours. IMHO, this train will really leave the station soon. DSL news and MAJOR contract announcements will only help us move up into the triple digits. Best Regards, Scott
