CANADA PAYPHONE TO DEVELOP PUBLIC INTERNET TERMINALS
By Adnews Staff
Canada Payphone Corp. of Burnaby, B.C. has teamed up with King Products Inc. of Toronto and ATCOM/INFO Inc. of San Diego, California to launch public Internet terminals. The terminals will allow users to surf the Internet, check their e-mail and make purchases over the Internet. In addition, advertisers will be able to purchase ads on the terminals that will use full motion video or still ads. The terminals will be placed near payphones in hotels, airports, train stations, convention centres and tourist attractions across Canada beginning in June. Initially, the terminals will primarily be available in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. King Products will supply Canada Payphone with flat panel touchscreen, multimedia networked terminals. ATCOM will provide the software for the terminals.
