Maybe they wanted to raise rates... but it didn't happen. They are in fact lower now... and will continue that trend as their competition increases. Yahoo! is already being caught by Lycos as the most popular search engine. Yahoo! is trying to be all things to all people, but IMO the niche sites will prevail. I buy shoes at a shoe store, groceries at the grocery store and when I need a doctor, I go to my doctor. Yahoo! cannot hold the "eyeballs" for very much longer, people will learn how to navigate to what they need without Yahoo's help... If Yahoo were an ISP they would have a better chance of survival. People need a connection to the net, they don't need Yahoo!. People like not having ads pushed down their throats all of the time, and there will be content specific sites for everything that Yahoo offers and more, with no advertising to wade through to get to what you need. people will pay for what they want, be it information or entertainment, and they won't stand for "commercials" to slow them down or distract them. Did cable TV catch on? Yahoo! is no AOL. And AOL isn't even that great... but they will survive the next 10 years and Yahoo! will not.
