I understand that the Age article on this (13/9/96) mentions 
that the Tel$tra Cable delivered Internet service will include 
Netscape 3.0 browsers. 

I can't imagine Microsoft is too pleased with this...so much for 
the much vaunted Microsoft/Tel$tra partnership!

BTW: The MSN (as opposed to On Australia) has been repositioned 
as an internet content provider, rather than an alternative 
online environment. I don't see Microsoft pushing MSN in the way 
that Rachel seems to suggest. Does this interpretation gel with 
other Linkers?
