ETrade (NASDAQ:EGRP), AT&T in marketing pact Reuters, Monday, June 21, 1999 at 09:15 PALO ALTO, Calif., June 21 (Reuters) - Online broker ETrade Group Inc. said on Monday it formed a marketing pact with phone and cable giant AT&T Corp. (NYSE:T) to provide investors who open new ETrade accounts with six free months of AT&T's Internet service. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. As part of a strategy to get more customers, ETrade has allied with a variety of companies in the online, travel and hospitality and retail industries, to offer customized incentives for opening an ETrade account. New individual investors with ETrade accounts now would receive "Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) Online Powered by AT&T WorldNet Service." Consumers can open an ETRADE account with a minimum investment of $1,000.
