T-Online International, phone giant Deutsche Telekom's Internet service provider, said Thursday it is in talks to offer a service based on Microsoft's Xbox games console. "We're in talks with Microsoft regarding Xbox," T-Online spokeswoman Dagmar Nielsen told Dow Jones Newswires. Microsoft's Xbox Live, which will allow Internet users with a broadband connection to play games online as well as talk with competitors and download new levels and characters, is to go on sale in eight European countries, including Germany, starting March 14. Microsoft said earlier this week it would work on the project with broadband providers such as BT Group's Openworld and France Telecom unit Wanadoo.
