Creative begeeft zich in de markt voor ADSL modems (zal aartsrivaal Diamond prettig vinden). Hier heb je de info van C|Net Nets.com:
Creative Technology will offer internal and external ADSL G.Lite modems from the third quarter of this year.ADSL G.Lite offers speeds of up to 1.5 mbps and do not require visits from the phone company to install the service. They are always connected, and users can simultaneously have a phone conversation while browsing the Internet, using only a single phone line.
Said Creative chief executive Sim Wong Hoo: "Creative's goal is to build better vehicles for the Internet information highway. These broadband solutions will deliver on this promise and enable a host of exciting audio and video enhanced Internet services and applications.
"It is our intent to be a leader in this new exciting market."
Using Lucent Technologies WildWire modem chipset, Creative will offer a combined ADSL G.Lite and V.90 modem on a single PCI card. This will allow people to use V.90 now and switch later to an ADSL connection.
Errug leuk allemaal, alleen zitten we hier in Nederland met KPN die geen ene moer opschiet met ADSL (afgezien dan van de Snelnet proef in Amsterdam). Van wat ik ervan gehoord heb (Snelnet presentatie hier bij mij op school) zullen de kosten in eerste instantie behoorlijk hoog zijn, maar zal er wel gerekend worden met flat rates (dus niet meer betalen per seconde).
