“The world’s biggest semiconductor company Intel Corp. will
supply 250,000 Web access devices that Spain’s biggest bank, Banco
Santander Central Hispano , is set to offer to clients with America
Online Inc. , which Intel and others hope could jump-start the
nascent industry.”
“…The Dot.Station, which is a blue color similar to the
one Intel uses in its logo, runs the Linux operating system and
uses a Mozilla Web browser. It is among several consumer-oriented
devices Intel now sells, in addition to digital cameras, an MP3
digital music player, a digital microscope and home networking
equipment.“
“The deal to offer Web terminals to Banco Santander’s 10 million
customers was part of a larger partnership between AOL and the
bank. Both companies also agreed to take over a Spanish leisure
portal, rebrand it AOL Avant and offer AOL-branded services to
Banco Santanders banking clients.”
