Internet video sector boosted by Broadcast.com deal Reuters Story - April 01, 1999 15:17 By Eric Auchard NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) - The planned $5.7 billion merger of Internet media network Yahoo! Inc. and Broadcast.com Inc. , the top supplier of audio and video programs over the Web, speeds the day when Internet viewers will watch and listen to video instead of reading endless pages of static text. Investors responded Thursday by bidding up the stocks of not only Yahoo and Broadcast.com, but a host of rival players in the field of Internet broadcast services and software. Already, many Internet users are gearing up to view thousands of video channels over personal computers or cable televisions using high-speed Internet links. Millions use Internet audio software to tune into hundreds of radio stations, investor conference calls and football games carried over the Internet. The video-viewing technology has been spotlighted over the last six months to watch President Clinton's grand jury deposition tape, John Glenn's space flight and the Victoria Secret fashion show. "You are seeing a scarcity value start to pop up in this segment of the Internet market, said Abi Gami, a stock analyst with William Blair & Co of Chicago. "Some very valuable assets are being taken off the table for the first time." Continued....... marketwatch.newsalert.com

Digital TV deadline hits this weekend April 30, 1999, 4:35 p.m. PT WASHINGTON--Television stations in the top ten cities across the U.S. must begin airing crystal-clear digital TV programming tomorrow under a deadline set by the federal government. Interesting snip... The new technology will allow stations to beam a single, crystal-clear channel with CD-quality sound known as high-definition TV into living rooms. Or, using compression technology, they can offer as many as five channels that still will be higher quality than today's analog signals. Digital technology also will open the door to interactive communications through TV sets, such as home shopping and the downloading of sports statistics.
