`
`PointCastunveils free news service - CNET News
`
`The network features six categories, called channels: News, Companies, Industries, Weather,
`Sports, and Lifestyle. Users can personalize the service to get access to stock quotes from any
`U.S. stock exchange, national and international news, weather reports from specific cities, and
`the latest game scores for their favorite team.
`
`Based on patent-pending SmartScreen technology, the service appears when the PC is idle or
`whenusers points to a box in the corner of their screen. Although conventional screensavers are
`deactivated when users touch the keyboard or mouse, PointCast Network users can press the
`Alt key to freeze the screen and then select a particular headline with their mouse. The service
`then sends them to the full text of the story on the Website of the given newsprovider.
`
`The companyanticipates that its PointCast Network will attract 1 million users by the end of
`this year.
`
`"The goal of our service is to effortlessly deliver a variety of content to users at anytime," said
`Christopher Hassett, PointCast CEO. "We feel very strongly that the PointCast Network will be
`the news networkof the 21st century."
`
`PointCastis set to deliver the advertiser-sponsored service for Windowsusers in April. A
`version for the Macintoshis set to enter beta testing in late spring.
`
`The newsticker will also be available in April as a free plug-in for the Navigator browser from
`
`Netscape Communications.
