Continuing to build on the success of this tour in both 1998 and 1999, this traveling exposition is expected to visit 40 cities over a 25week period during summer and early fall of 2000.

"The mall environment has proven to be a great venue to showcase the power and speed of broadband Internet service," said Byron Smith, executive vice president, consumer broadband services and chief marketing officer for Excite@Home. "We believe that seeing is believing so we are thrilled to be able to bring this demonstration to these highly visited shopping outlets.
