Excerpt from EUnet Press Release, Oct, 1995
NETSCAPE AND EUNET SIGN INTERNATIONAL LICENSING AGREEMENT
Pan-European Deal Provides Full Internet Connectivity Solution
Amsterdam, The Netherlands (October 23, 1995) -- EUnet Communications
Services and Netscape Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: NSCP) today
announced the signing of a licensing agreement enabling EUnet to distribute
Netscape Navigator(tm) 1.2, and the dial-up kit, with EUnet Internet
access. The deal covers EUnet's entire operation of 28 operating companies
spanning 41 countries in Europe and beyond.
"Our agreement with EUnet will help us gain access to the rapidly growing
pan-European Internet market," said Didier Benchimol, vice president of
European sales for Netscape. "We have recently expanded our international
presence with offices in Paris, London and Munich, and our licensing
agreement with EUnet is a further example of our dedication to the European
market. Netscape Navigator, currently shipping in English, French, and
German, will now be directly available to customers of Europe's leading
Internet service providers."
Wim Vink, EUnet's managing director said, "This partnership brings to the
user community another important piece in providing a simplified approach
to Internet access. With the signing of this contract, users will be able
to receive a 'ready to go' Internet solution of connectivity, the latest
client technology for the World Wide Web and the Eudora electronic mail
software - all in one box and at a highly competitive price."
Initially EUnet will distribute Netscape Navigator 1.2, and dial-up kit,
but will upgrade to the newly announced Netscape Navigator 2.0, due for
release in December 1995. Netscape Navigator 2.0 is a major new release of
the highly popular navigator, combining point-and-click network navigation,
electronic mail, threaded discussion groups, file transfers, and other
Internet services in a seamlessly integrated package. Netscape Navigator
2.0 provides a platform for a new class of live online applications,
supporting Live Objects -- or interactive multimedia objects -- such as
Java applets, frames, and Netscape inline plug-ins.
