The melding of PC makers and Web companies took another step forward today when Micron Electronics announced it planned to move into Web design and e-commerce services with the acquisition of NetLimited. Direct PC maker Micron today said it has issued a letter of intent to acquire NetLimited, known publicly as Hostpro, which specializes in data hosting, Web site design, e-commerce application development, Web site hosting, and ISP connectivity services. Customers include Caesar_s Palace, Tri-Mark Pictures, and California Federal Bank. The deal represents the latest extension of a trend under which ISPs, PC companies, and even computer retailers are competing to become the single source for a customer_s complete digital needs. PC companies, desperate for incremental revenue, have begun to sell, and even give away, ISP services as a way to boost machine sales.
