Yahoo to extend service beyond PCs NEW YORK, April 5 (Reuters) - Leading Internet portal Yahoo! Inc. <YHOO.O> is planning to extend its reach beyond personal computers to hand-held devices and television-based Internet appliances like WebTV. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Yahoo Inc. <YHOO.O> and Online Anywhere said on Monday that the companies reached a deal to extend Yahoo's brand through Online Anyhere's Author Once, View Anywhere service. "Author Once, View Anywhere functionality will help Yahoo! users access their personalized Yahoo! content and services wherever they go," said Mohan Vishwanath, Online Anywhere chief executive officer. "The ability to access all types of information without being tethered to a PC is the next logical step for Internet users." "As part of our Yahoo! Everywhere' strategy, we remain committed to forging agreements with companies, such as Online Anywhere, that offer Yahoo! content display integrity and maximum extensibility in the PC environment and beyond," said Ellen Siminoff, Yahoo's vice president of business development and strategic planning. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Online Anywhere is a start-up firm funded by Motorola Inc. <MOT.N> unit Motorola Ventures that enables Internet providers to rapidly reformat and deliver their content to televisions, personal digital assistants, and wireless devices. The company's patented FlashMap technology automatically converts Internet sites that have been formatted for a personal computer to a format appropriate for the device. Yahoo agreed last week to buy Broadcast.com Inc. <BCST.O>, a top Web video provider, for $5.7 billion. Rival Internet service provider America Online Inc. <AOL.N> is busy developing its own "AOL Anywhere" service, bolstered through its merger with Netscape Communications and its alliance with Sun Microsystems Inc.<SUNW.O>, to link the Internet to appliances besides personal computers. AOL's strategy is also to make its service available through high speed cable television, telephone and wireless connections. Both companies are competing with media and Internet ambitions of Microsoft Corp.<MSFT.O>, the world's largest software maker and the owner of WebTV. 08:59 04-05-99

<<Shorted at 67 this morning. >> From CBS marketwatch: -- Shares of Yahoo (YHOO) could approach their all-time high after the company releases quarterly profit numbers Wednesday. The company, which just offered to exchange its stock for all of Broadcast.com (BCST), is seen making 8 cents a share in the first quarter, up from 2 cents a year ago. A robust quarter likely will benefit large and small Internet companies. Broadcast.com shares are already selling for more than the original $130 a share indication that came after Yahoo, its stock at 168 at the time, unveiled the $5.7 billion stock swap last week. Yahoo will exchange 28.33 million of its shares for 36.7 million shares of Broadcast.com. The merger includes the conversion of about 7.1 million Broadcast.com options into around 5.5 million Yahoo options. Yahoo shares are now north of 180 and headed to their all-time closing high of 222 1/2, set Jan. 11. James Dines, the California newsletter writer, sees old-line companies contributing to the Internet boom in coming months. As media and established technology companies seek to buy into Web companies, "they will aggravate the diminishing supply of these shares even further," says Dines. What could all this lead to? "We could now be approaching the mother of all spikes in the Internet boom, possibly a last chance to cash in big time and maybe even get yourself set for life," says Dines. 888
