`07.May.2003` st-computer (Website)	Infogrames renamed to Atari Infogrames is dead - long live Atari! The French company Infogrames that bought all rights of the trademark Atari two years ago changed its name today officially and worldwide to that of the former game and computer giant. Until now Infogrames used the label Atari for publishing or licensing of some games only. 65 percent of the business activities of Atari, respective Infogrames, are located to the U.S. in the meanwhile. Due to that 60 percent of the staff in Europe has been reduced during the last year. At the stock exchange the company gained some interest during the last weeks because of a gain of their stock price of 130 percent at the Nasdaq since April the 18th 2003, after Atari announced the completion of the game "Enter The Matrix". That game covers the movie "The Matrix Reloaded". It's expected that it might become one of the most successful computer games ever, which would Atari bring back to be one of the "major players" instantly. At the stock exchange Atari is recorded at the abreviation "ATAR". Enter The Matrix will be available from May the 15th 2003 for PC, Xbox, Gamecube and Playstation2. By the title link Atari's new website is to reach. (nba) (Translation: ub) [News message: 07. May. 2003, 16:52] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`24.Apr.2003` ots / teltarif.de	Call by Call in Ortsnetz: Information Offering at teltarif.de On this coming Friday, the 25th of April, the last monopoly in the German telephone market fell: the Ortsnetz. The consumer was not much able to benefit from the popular Call-by-Call option. With the Call-by-Call option, the caller selects a number sequence, generally 5 characters, and so directs the call over an alternative provider, instead of Deutsche Telekom. It's already observable that the consumers will benefit from significant savings, from Friday on. "A short 30 second call to the barber or taxi company costs just one cent using the sequence 01078 over the provider 3U, instead of the six cents charged by Deutsche Telekom up until now" per Martin Müller, business leader of the fee-comparing www.teltarif.de. 3U offers local calls in about 1500 local networks, and accounts for the one second pulse. Arcor kicks off in about 36 hours, beginning with an offer for local and quasi-local calls. The prices are thereby over those of 3U, but are also good for conversations to destinations maximally 20 kilometers from the originating point. These conversations are designated quasi-local. Market experts are still expecting the offers of Tele2 and 01051 Telecom by Friday. Other enterprises have announced they will start in May. (nba) (Translation: dm) [News message: 24.
