Internet Daily for Tuesday, September 4, 2001 by Frank Barnako CBS MarketWatch.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cable seen as primary broadband provider Cable TV companies will be the dominant providers of high-speed Internet access services, according to market research released Tuesday by the Yankee Group. The Boston-based consulting firm expects cable to provide broadband to 15.7 million residential households by the end of 2005. DSL will be the choice in 10.5 million, satellite by 4.5 million and fixed wireless will serve 359,000. "Cable operators are uniquely placed to drive broadband penetration, resulting from greater availability, lower prices and quicker provisioning," the Yankee report said. ----------------------------------------------------------------- MP3.com may add videos, games Vivendi's MP3.com is expected to expand its file sharing choices to include music videos and perhaps eventually game software. President Robin Richards said movie trailers may also be offered through a new Web site, MP4.com, according to The Wall Street Journal. Richards said he is "actively pursuing" offering games, but there are no firm plans. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Motley Fool to sell professional advice The Motley Fool will announce plans this week to partner with financial planning firm Ayco Co. of Albany, N.Y., to sell advice online. The fee-for-service advice is expected to initially cost $149 a year, the Washington Post reported. Subscribers would receive information online as well as be able to call and speak with planners. Daniel O'Brien, a senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc., commented, "These sorts of services, while not antithetical to The Motley Fool's ethos, are less about doing your own homework and more about relying on professionals." ----------------------------------------------------------------- Journal Interactive launches 4th niche site Dow Jones' Wall Street Journal has debuted RealEstateJournal.com. The free site includes information about buying, selling, leasing, managing and investing in residential and commercial properties. It joins other Journal efforts including CareerJournal.com, StartupJournal.com and OpinionJournal.com.
