in almost a first, Excite At Home Corp. is planning to offer a service that allows users to store and stream video clips for free via its Internet infrastructure. This move is aimed at increasing demand for high-speed internet connections. The service is part of a partnership between the company, based in Redwood City, California, and Media 100 Inc., a maker of software based in Marlboro, Massachusetts, that is used to create and deliver internet video. Media 100 has developed a free version of its software that customers can download from Excite At Home, and use to prepare video clips for internet broadcast, which is known as streaming.
