AT&T announced on Monday that starting with March it would raise the prices of its main broadband Internet services. This decision will affect all of the states where AT&T operates excepting the ones acquired by the company with the buyout of BellSouth. According to AT&T’s spokesman, Michael Coe, the affected customers will be the ones having the slowest broadband tiers, ranging from 768 Kbps to 3 Mbps. So, the 1.5 Mbps service, which is the most common service among the company’s almost 14.2 million broadband clients, will also be affected. Still, according to Michael Coe, the $5-per-month price hike will not affect AT&T’s new clients who sign up for the slowest broadband Internet service, as well as the ones who signed up under special promotional deals. AT&T has already started to announce its customers about the price hike via emails or notices coming with the bills. The company’s arguments for taking this decision was that thus, “the value of our broadband service” would be better reflected as demand continues to grow for high-speed Internet services. On Monday AT&T’s shares ended down 12 cents.

“With the popularity of Virtual Tours both on the Internet and Cable Television, the demand for information on options for today’s homebuyer, and the necessity of Credit improvement seminars, Wi-Fi TV is a perfect platform for delivery of such valuable information,” said Eileen Luttrell, licensed realtor, President of AllGolfTV and independent marketer of Wi-Fi TV Stations.”Real Estate Agents also need to get as much exposure for their listings and services in today’s inventory flooded market. There is so much competition for the fewer qualified buyers that it is imperative that an Agent do as much as possible to set their listing apart from the rest and with rising gas prices, using Wi-Fi TV’s technology to offer virtual home tours helps Agents and their Clients save valuable resources and time.”Another perk to using Wi-Fi TV as an online Real Estate Marketplace is the ability to offer free services to homebuyers such as Home Inspection Tutorials. Companies like Sacramento-based Sacramento Home Inspection (www.sacinspect.com) offer a video demonstration on Home Inspection basics. Informative services like these are easily offered through the Wi-Fi TV platform so a Real Estate Agent who wants to offer the best service for their Clients should not pass up this great opportunity,” Eileen Luttrell concluded.Ms. Luttrell oversaw a multi-thousand opt-in email campaign this week aimed at raising the profile of Wi-Fi TV with realtors.

Yahoo Inc. has not yet decided whether to accept a $44.6 billion bid from Microsoft Corp., CEO Jerry Yang told employees in an e-mail Wednesday. Sunnyvale-based Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) is “evaluating a wide range of potential strategic alternatives in what is a complex and evolving landscape,” Yang added, and said the board has hired advisers to help evaluate options. Yang said in this e-mail that the offer “highlights the tremendous strength of the Yahoo brand and assets.” Search giant Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) said in a blog posting that the bid by Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) raises “troubling questions.” “Could Microsoft now attempt to exert the same sort of inappropriate and illegal influence over the Internet that it did with the PC?” Chief Legal Officer David Drummond asked in the post. Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith said the combination “of Microsoft and Yahoo will create a more competitive marketplace by establishing a compelling number two competitor for Internet search and online advertising. The alternative scenarios only lead to less competition on the Internet.” Microsoft made its cash-and-stock offer for Yahoo on Jan. 31, and the move was widely seen as an effort by Microsoft to catch up to Google in the Web advertising market
