Net Products

[After Acorn]     [Companies }

Introduction

Net Products was set up in 1996 by Hermann Hauser to produce an OEM version of the Acorn NetStation NC for NetChannel. NetChannel was the UK subsiduary of a US company planning to offer Internet acces on the TV via a Set Top Box and telephone line.

Since the NetProducts NetStation was designed for use with NetChannel which was closed down by NTL (now VirginMedia) some time ago, I suspect that this information is of purely historic value.
