Microsoft high speed bandwidth
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft President Rick Belluzzo outlined a vision of a high-speed Internet world with his company as its foundation Tuesday, in remarks aimed at cable industry executives. The Redmond, Wash.-based software company is betting much of its future on its ambitious .Net strategy, which involves moving many of its software products into a service mode, where customers might rent access to Office or subscribe to music from MSN. Because that strategy requires people to have more bandwidth than is reachable via simple dial-up modem connections to the Internet, the company has also turned into one of the biggest boosters of the high-speed Net, with a history of broadband investments.
