Hewlett Packard (HP) has opted to bundle broadband ADSL modems with a number of its higher specification pre-built PCs:
According to HP, the built in ADSL modems will not be added to the cost of the PC, saving the end user £50 to £80 on the price of signing up for a broadband connection.
Although the modems offer broadband access through any ADSL provider, BT Openworld discs offering free broadband activation have been included in the offer.
The PCs, priced at £1,119 to £1,299, will go on sale in the next few weeks exclusively, for now, at PC World.It's certainly helping to overcome one other technical obstacle, the installation. More @
