Bell Communications Research Inc, the Morristown, New Jersey research house currently jointly owned by the Baby Bells but expected to be spun off, is to explore joint opportunities for Web-based products, services, technology and training for Internet and World Wide Web offerings with Sun Microsystems Computer Co and Netscape Communications Corp. It will become a Sun Independent Software Vendor, become a Sun Object Reality Center and Sun may use it as a subcontractor for its systems integration services where appropriate. With Netscape, the two will explore ways to work together on systems integration consulting services based on Netscape’s software for the Web.
