Will be serving lunch soon. Places, everybody.
New York, May 17 (Bloomberg) -- Yahoo! Inc., the Internet
gateway company, will disclose an agreement this week with AT&T
Corp., Newsweek magazine reported. The arrangement reportedly
will be similar to that of America Online Inc. and Tel-Save
Holdings Inc., a long-distance phone company that paid $100
million to become AOL's official long-distance partner, selling
services through the online service and saving money by billing
its customers electronically. The magazine also said Inktomi
Corp., an information-services provider that creates Internet
searching software, has displaced Alta Vista Internet Software
Inc., a unit of Digital Equipment Corp., as Yahoo!'s search-
engine partner.
Yahoo Inc. and other Internet search services are adding
features in an attempt to expand from ''search engines'' to Web
''portals'' with loyal audiences by adding services such as
e-mail, chat rooms, news, sports scores and classified
advertising.
