Glenn: I question the effectiveness of internet advertising and I question the willingness of advertising customers to pay Yahoo for advertising unless there is evidence that it is cost effective. As for "fee for service" that is largely unproven but has more potential. Bill stated that advertising would still dominate Yahoo's income -- to that I say "good luck" because I don't see it as a big growth area any time soon. Fee for service has better prospects, but these too are uncertain.
