REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 31--Excite@Home and
pogo.com announced a definitive agreement in which Excite@Home will acquire pogo.com, an online games provider for the
mass market, for an undisclosed amount. The pogo.com multi-user online
games environment will be leveraged as a key asset of Excite@Home's
broadband TV initiative, where consumers will be able to play online games
as part of the advanced TV experience. pogo.com's commanding position in
the narrowband online games market will also facilitate the migration of
consumers to the broadband and set-top platforms.
