Disney, Infoseek alliance to broaden Internet reach
Article Abstract:
Walt Disney and Infoseek plan to launch an Internet directory service, dubbed Go Network, which is expected to be operational by the end of 1998. The service would be the first for the two companies since Disney paid $70 million for a 43-percent interest in Infoseek and would also be their first offensive in competing for more Internet traffic against such players as America Online, Yahoo, Excite and Microsoft. Go Network, to be found at www.Go.com, is expected to obtain the third biggest Internet reach, following Yahoo and AOL.
