AOL advertising buyout
AOL advertising buyout
06/29/2004 03:20 PMAOL has purchased Advertising.com in an all cash deal to help them to
increase their online advertising revenue. Early figures indicate that
industry wide website advertising revenue could rise to 6.78 billion
by the end of the year. It appears that AOL is becoming less focused
on just advertising on their own websites and will be moving on to
making their mark on the rest of the internet. It will also be
interesting to see how this affects the volume of advertising that
already exists on their own portals and websites.

Nextel Accepts Paying Customers in N.
Carolina
04/14/2004 02:21 PMNextel is opening up its trial broadband wireless network in North
Carolina to paying customers: The network uses proprietary hardware
from Flarion. Initial trialers came from Cisco, Nortel, and IBM and
they offered their comments on the service. Nextel is also expanding
the network to cover a broader range and offering a special $50 price
for PC cards and modems. The monthly pricing options are pretty good
too. For $50 a month, users get unlimited 750 Kbps down and 250 Kbps
up. That's comparable to DSL or cable modem service but also includes
the benefit of mobility. Higher speeds are available for higher
prices. If Nextel decides to roll this out in other markets, the
operator would again be carving itself a unique spot in the market.
The other cellular operators seem to be focusing their data services
on cell phones, not laptop users. Those services are also more
expensive than Nextel's offering. Plus, Nextel is positioning its
service as a replacement for DSL or cable while the other cellular
operators are touting their data offerings mainly as mobile services.
But once again Nextel would be using a proprietary technology which
means the network will be more expensive for Nextel to build than the
standard gear used by the other cellular operators and Nextel would
have to build an extensive network because users can't roam. As Nextel
moves forward with the North Carolina offering and beings advertising,
it'll be interesting to watch how the service is positioned. I think
it's notable that one of the quotes from a trialer in the news release
says that he stops in at cafes to open his laptop and use the Nextel
service. That sounds like a direct shot at Wi-Fi offerings in
cafes....
