High-speed Internet provider At Home Corp. is buying Excite Inc., one of the leading desti

nations on the World Wide Web, for about $ 6.7 billion in stock in one of the largest Internet company deals. The deal announced today would surpass America Online Inc.' s $ 4.2 billion acquisition of Netscape Communications Corp. last year. Based on closing stock prices Friday, Excite is worth about $ 3. 4 billion, which would mean that At Home would be paying a huge premium. The deal could eventually give telecommunications giant AT&T Corp. control of one of the highly sought-after portals that serve as entry points onto the Internet.

At Home is owned by Tele-Communications Inc., Cox Communications and several other investors. TCI is in the process of merging with AT&T Corp. in a $ 39 billion deal that is expected to be completed by spring. AT&T Corp. chief executive Michael Armstrong has stated he wants to use At Home as a conduit for delivering a wide range of communications services, including electronic commerce. Control over Excite, which has a search engine and links to several online shopping sites, would certainly enhance that goal. Excite, which has lagged behind other Web-site companies, such as Yahoo!, has been looking for a larger partner in the rapidly consolidating Internet portal market, especially in wake of the AOL-Netscape deal. Several other companies had been rumored to be interested in Excite, including Yahoo! Inc. and Microsoft Corp. Negotiations between Yahoo! and Excite broke off this weekend, according to published reports.

Excite, eager to extend its reach and market power, was attracted by an alliance with AT&T and TCI. Excite's shareholders are expected to own about 30 percent of the combined company, which would be known as At Home Networks. Excite chief executive George Bell would take a position on the new company's executire board, reporting to At Home chief executive Tom Jermoluk. At Home, which delivers high-speed Internet service over cable TV lines, has more than 330 000 customers. The deal would give it access to Excite's more than 20 million registered users and to the company's content-development. capabilities. Both companies are located in Redwood City, Calif. At Home, whose stock has risen nearly 300 percent over the past year, has the money to make a deal, Michael Harris, president of Kinetic Strategies Inc. told MSNBC." With At Home's existing stock valuation (of about $11.7 billion), it's been surprising they haven't done more deals. They've certainly got a huge war chest built up."

Neither company has yet made a profit. In the three months ended Sep. 30, Excite lost $6.8 million on revenue of $44 million, including acquisition and amortization expenses. In the same period, At Home lost $ 9.7 million.

Why does At Home want to buy Excite？

A．Because Tom Jermoluk wants to control his strongest competitor.

B．Because it Wants to expand its business through Excite's present resources.

C．Because both companies are based in Redwood city, California.

D．Because it has lost $9.7 million in the last three months.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.

听力原文： High-speed Internet connectivity still is an elusive luxury for most Indians: with just over a million broadband subscribers in a country of more than one billion people, only the best off in the big cities can take advantage of it. But WiMax, the IEEE standard for wide area wireless broadband connectivity, could be coming to the rescue. It offers India the prospect of largely skipping connections to the Internet by the DSL links and ca- ble modems that are standard in so many other places.

A number of recent developments suggest that WiMax might offer the best answer to last-mile broadband connectivity in a country like India--or at least that lots of corporate leaders are thinking the same way. For example, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (VSNL), a leading international telecom service provider headquartered in Mumbai, already has deployed WiMax infrastructure in 65 Indian cities, relying on equipment made by Aperto Networks, in Milpitas, Calif. Aperto is a leading developer of WiMax base stations and subscriber units builts to the IEEE 802.16d standard.

According to the news, which of the following statements is TURE？

A．Currently still not many Indians have access to high-speed Internet connectivity.

B．Wireless broadband connectivity might be an answer to India's problem.

C．A majority of Internet users are finding wireless broadband very helpful.

D．An international telecom service provider has already deployed WiMax infrastructure in 55 Indian cities.

The New Technology Application

On a more mundane level, third-generation mobile telephones, despite all the delays and the billions squandered on 3G licenses by telecom firms, are still expected to offer consumers high-speed, always on mobile internet access, complete with video, in the next few years.Rapidly proliferating "WiFi" networks already offer wireless access on a local basis. Tiny tracking chips called radio-frequency identification devices are being used as pet passports.Soon they will be small, powerful and cheap enough to be implanted into everything form. humans to milkcartons recording and transmitting real-time medical data, or serving as a form. of inventory control.Sensors of every kind, including video cameras, should also become much smaller and cheaper.Forrester Research, a technology consultancy, predicts that 14 billion such devices will be connected to the internet by 2005.

How rapidly such new technology is introduced will depend on a number of factors the state of the economy, the supply of investment capital and the appetite of consumers for new products or services ! Fortunes will be made and lost many times over.But whatever happens, the power of computing and communications look set to continue to grow, and its price to fall, at a steady rate for the next few decades.That will make it possible, at least in rich countries, to record most human interactions, wherever and whenever they take place, and to store and analyze this ocean of data at low cost.

For the sake of argument, this survey will assume that we are heading towards a networked society of ubiquitous, mobile Communication capable of constant monitoring.Whether this arrives in 20,30 or 40 years does not really matter.The point is that the destination seems not merely possible, but probable, so it is not too

soon to ask: What do we want this technology to do？

The internet has already thrown up a host of legal and political conundrums, but, these are only a small foretaste of the dilemmas about privacy, security, intellectual property and the nature of government itself that will have to be faced over the coming decades.The debate has already begun. This survey will outline some of main issues, and speculate on the way they are likely to go.

Radio-frequency identification devices__________. 查看材料

A.are being used to offer wireless access

B.are usually used to offer high-speed， mobile internet access

C.are already cheap enough to be used as passports

D.ale expected to be used as a means to control inventory
