NETSCAPE CEDES BROWSER WAR, WANTS TO BE A HUB
"The browser is the crown jewel," says Netscape president Jim Bankoff.
"However, six months from now you won't consider Netscape to be a browser
company." Instead, the new strategy calls for Netscape to function as a
hub for Time Warner media properties, including Fortune and Time
magazines and 24-hour cable news network CNN. So far, about 18 Time
Warner publication and programming sites have been embedded in the
toolbar that runs along the top of the Netscape media site. Netscape is
also broadening its reach beyond the PC and has also recently struck
deals for its browser to be used in Sony's PlayStation2 and in Gateway's
Touchpad. (Reuters 6 Jun 2001)
