C-NET has published an article confirming that Fry's is indeed entering into the Internet Service Provision business.

According to the article, which published only hours after the announcement here, Fry's is working with Pacific Bell to provide DSL service, as well as looking at cable and other high-speed alternatives.

From the C-NET article:

Fry's is considering high-speed Net access as well, the sources said."They are talking to (our) senior management about cable modems, and high broadband and DSL modems," said a salesperson at Best Data, a cable-modem producer that has held discussions with Fry's.

Best Data has been around for some time, building a decent name for themselves in the analog modem market by delivering reasonable performance at a low price.

"Fry's has quite extensive Web strategies that could include anything that you could think about," said Arthur Dressel, Fry's ISP manager.

He didn't, however, give any specifics. This company's worse than Microsoft and their vaporware... Ok, maybe not.
