Halsey Minor, Chief Executive Officer, Snap, said: "Internet portal users who have access to higher-speed Internet connections are looking for a rich, full experience, not just text-based lists of Web sites. NBC and CNBC's enhanced telecasts are viewable on TV sets and personal computers equipped with such technologies as Microsoft WebTV, Intel's Intercast and others. Snap "Cyclone" will be integrated into all NBC Television Network analog and digital enhanced broadcasts, and in enhanced telecasts of CNBC programming, 24-hours a day. Snap "Cyclone" also will be available as an option, free of charge at, designed for Internet users with higher-speed capabilities. Additional high-speed Internet access services distributing Snap "Cyclone" will be announced in the coming months, as the service rolls-out. Each carrier will make available customized versions of the Snap "Cyclone" portal service, developed exclusively for their users and communities. Snap "Cyclone" initially will be carried by high-speed Internet services offered by GTE Internetworking, SBC Internet Services, Bell Atlantic Internet Solutions, Epoch Internet, JPSnet, DSLnetworks, EastLink Cable, Triax Communications and others. Snap "Cyclone" will become the high-speed starting point of choice in the rapidly converging worlds of video, audio, communications and the Internet, offering users multimedia content and navigation services provided by a host of partners (See Related Release, "NBC and CNET's Snap Announces Initial Content Partners for Next Generation Portal for High Speed Users"). Snap "Cyclone," which will launch in the first quarter of 1999, will feature rich media content in all Snap topics: News, Finance, Sports, Entertainment, Television, Music, Video, Games, Movies, Computing, Shopping and Travel. Snap "Cyclone" (the code name for Snap's next generation portal) will provide Internet users with an experience that showcases all rich media types - video, audio, gaming, animation, telephony, and more - built atop the powerful Snap Internet directory and search service. Snap, the Internet portal from NBC and CNET, today unveiled the future of Internet search and navigation services, becoming the first Internet portal to announce a new, free service designed for higher-speed users.
