 PROFILE
Netpliance is getting rid of the appliances, but keeping the Net. The company, which touted its Linux based i-opener Internet appliance as a simpler and more economical way for the PC-less masses to get online, is licensing the product design to customers (such as AT&T and Earthlink), selling its subscriber base to Earthlink, and refocusing on broadband infrastructure products and services. The company, which is cutting jobs as part of its new focus, earned most of its revenues from monthly subscription fees for its Internet service. Co-founder and chairman John McHale, who owns about 30% of Netpliance, withdrew his investment group's bid to take the company private.
