Compaq Europe launches PC sales on the Internet

Article Abstract:

Compaq Computer Corp has begun selling personal compters online in France and the UK. The company intends to eventually expand its online business throughout Western Europe between Sep 1999 and early 2000. France and the UK were chosen to be the launchpad for the online effort because the company already had fully functioning call centers in those countries for a year, said Werner Koepf, the company's general manager for Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
