High Speed Access Corp., a broadband Internet services provider, and Time Warner Cable, a unit of AOL Time Warner, have signed a definitive agreement covering the provision of HSA's high-speed
Internet access service over AOL Time Warner's cable systems. Both companies will be free to market the service independently. The agreement with HSA, which is subject to FTC approval, is the third
national ISP agreement reached by Time Warner Cable, following similar arrangements with Earthlink and Juno. HSA and Time Warner Cable plan to begin rolling out HSA following the completion of
modifications to Time Warner Cable systems needed to accommodate multiple ISPs. HSA's first market launch is expected to occur in the second half of this year.
