AOL, Wal-Mart May Announce E-Commerce Partnership, Report Says Dulles, Virginia, Dec. 5 <A HREF="aol://4344:30.bloombrg.389091.602536905">(Bl oomberg)</A> -- America Online Inc., the top Internet-service provider with more than 19 million subscribers, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer with about 3,000 discount stores, may announce an electronic-commerce agreement this month, Interactive Week reported, citing unidentified industry sources. Wal-Mart would promote AOL in its namesake stores and in Sam's Club outlets, and AOL would likely give the discount chain advertising to direct users to Wal-Mart's virtual storefront. The alliance would help AOL expand its advertising reach to get more customers, and would compete with Internet retailers like Amazon.com Inc., which are trying to become general online merchants, Internet Week said; AOL declined comment and Wal-Mart officials couldn't be reached to comment. Consumers are expected to rush until about Dec. 19 to place orders for the holidays, when Internet sales are forecast to almost double to $5 billion from last year, according to Jupiter Communications Inc.
