Compaq also announced its new Triple Play broadband Internet access program, which offers customers a choice of three high-speed Net access options: cable modem, DSL, and satellite.
The treaty follows the lead of leaders from Asia-Pacific nations, who pledged at a summit in Brunei earlier this month to triple the number of people with Internet access in their region by 2005, and provide all people in the region with individual or community-based Web access by 2010.
