Yahoo! Buys Internet Phone Provider - BizReport

Yahoo! Buys Internet Phone Provider - BizReport

A few months ago, the buzz was about Google starting an internet phone service. YHOO is making the jump first. DialPad has been around for 6 years and has acquired 14 million users. The number could expand rapidly when integrated into YHOO services.

Yet another example of cost to consumers going down. DialPad has charged 1.7 cents per minute for calls. Hard to beat that price on traditional circuits. Skpe and others offer free computer to computer service.

Ebay has gotten a lot of bad press lately. The buzz now is that Google will start a system similar to PayPal. I added Ebay and Google to an account a couple of days ago. Ebay is making progress in China. Success in China could almost double Ebay revenues.

BUY THE BULL! THE INTERNET IS NOT GOING AWAY. CONSUMERS WILL BENEFIT BUT PROFITS WILL BE MADE!
