| | What Delays? Rogers Proceeds With WebTV - Broadband Week 10/2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | The Toronto-based cable operator, one of the most aggressive in the industry to roll out advanced services, is moving to full deployment with Rogers Digital Choice TV, launched in May and based on Microsoft's WebTV platform. |
 | | Rogers' trial involved about 500 "friends and family" households, and was met with "a fair amount of success," says Lee, who adds that Rogers slowly will ramp up marketing for the service, which features Web browsing, e-mail, newsgroups, chat and so-called "walled garden" news, sports, entertainment, health and shopping content. |
 | | Rogers and Microsoft develop content jointly and plans are underway to expand the content development teams. |
