Yahoo To Sell DSL
from the we'll-try-anything... dept
Yahoo seems to be announcing all sorts of new initiatives as they get ready for their analysts' meeting tomorrow. The latest is that they'll be offering DSL through SBC. Looks like they're moving a little more towards an AOL-style strategy. Of course, Yahoo! has made deals with ISPs before that haven't really done very well, but back then they didn't have Terry Semel as CEO. For it to really work, they would need to promote it quite a bit, and it's unclear if they're willing to do so. Updated: This article suggest this is really the first step towards a possible merger between SBC and Yahoo.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
