(apparently not much of a secret<g>) cbs.marketwatch.com Top brokers convene secret IM session By Frank Barnako, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 10:30 AM ET Sept. 13, 2002 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Six major financial institutions are leading a push to get the Internet's various instant messaging systems to talk to one another. Executives from Merrill Lynch (MER: news, chart, profile), Lehman Brothers (LEH: news, chart, profile) and J.P. Morgan (JPM: news, chart, profile) are among the firms which reportedly have met in New York with AOL Time Warner (AOL: news, chart, profile), Microsoft (MSFT: news, chart, profile) and IBM (IBM: news, chart, profile) to urge the technology companies to devise a way employees can use messaging across all platforms. "We want IM to be like e-mail," Navin Rajapakse, assistant vice president at Lehman Brothers, told Cnet. The key to universal IM, sources said, appears to be finding a way for the software companies to generate revenue from the use of the tools and network. One analyst said not having interchangeability of IM is like having a telephone that you can only use to call one company.
