Xinhua news agency said China will have 120,000 Internet users by the end of 1996, up from around 1,700 at the end of 1993. Experts estimate the number of Internet users in China will reach one million by the end of 2000.
NBC and Intel will deploy the Intercast technology they and others have been working on for some time with NBC's broadcasting of the 1996 summer Olympic Games. "With Intercast you can show several things at once," said Howard High of Intel. The Intercast service that will be launched in July with the Olympics is television programming via PC in which you can get a broadcast on one window of a PC screen and in another window an Internet connection to a Home Page of information. It will have HTML-links to other World Wide Web sites. The Olympic Games, in which multiple sporting events occurring at once, offer a prime way to demonstrate the Intercast technology's appeal.
The experts estimated that about 400,000 people use the Internet in Latin America, with about 100,000 of those in Mexico and 100,000 in Brazil. Internet use in Latin America is growing dramatically. In Argentina a year ago, there were 5,000 users and that has grown to 50,000. The growth represents a big opportunity for computer sellers because market penetration in Latin America is so small. For example, Microsoft estimated 11 million Americans use the Net and some estimate it as high as 30 million.

Advertisers around Europe had been rushing to set up Websites to market and sell everything from breakfast cereals to cars, but few have reaped tangible benefits from interactive advertising, which has tended to be informative rather than innovative. Many press and TV ads now carry Web addresses but advertising executives said many people only visited commercial Websites once. The typical user in Europe is male, aged between 22 and 36 and earns $20,000 to $30,000 a year. Companies in Europe are expected to spend less than $100 million on the Internet this year, the Financial Times said recently, but the figure is expected to grow exponentially in the next few years. By 2002, more than 200 million people will be wired and 150 million will subscribe to on line services, according to Durlacher Multimedia, a British multimedia researcher.
In a survey of 2,140 consumers whose household incomes were above $25,000, a slim majority said they'd prefer to have a single source for multiple services such as telephone, cable TV and Internet access.
Along those lines, price probably will be the key to winning consumers in the "one-stop shopping" market, said Bellcore's Janilee Johnson: "I think it indicates there just hasn't been a company that has distinguished itself in the market yet."
Other findings of the Bellcore study:
* Some 48% of respondents prefer to have a video sent to
their home electronically vs. going to a retail outlet.
* Some 20% haven't and won't use a credit card to purchase
products and services online, but 70% would like to pay
bills electronically.
* Some 93% of the respondents interested in electronic
communication would like to renew their driver's license,
register their vehicles and register to vote electronically.
MasterCard International and Visa International say they published revised specifications for secure bankcard transactions on the Internet and other open networks. The standards were developed with major corporations that include GTE, IBM, Microsoft and Netscape.
