I think it's a quandry, because if yhoo starts to charge $$ their ad volume will really be hurt since so many fewer people will then be using yhoo, no?

Indeed, a major component of the long-term bearish case on YHOO is the notion that they will not be able to start charging for their services. And, indeed there have been instances where YHOO has attempted to do so and failed (the PayDirect service comes to mind).

I think they'll eventually pull it off, but I'm not of that as sure as I used to be.
