NETD . . . The news hasn't been released on the Business Wire yet, but it was in The WSJ and CBS Marketwatch. More news purportedly coming soon. Much upside potential, I believe. Datalink.net, BellSouth to Join In Venture for Pager Content By NICOLE HARRIS Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK -- BellSouth Corp. will team with Datalink.net Corp., an Internet-based information company, to deliver personalized Web content to BellSouth pagers. Terms of the partnership, expected to be announced Tuesday, weren't disclosed. The service will be immediately available to BellSouth's interactive paging-service subscribers. The pact underscores BellSouth's bet on the fast-growing wireless-data business, a fledgling sector that some Wall Street analysts expect will become a lucrative market. Most wireless companies are rushing to develop data networks to distribute e-mail and other Internet-related information to mobile business customers. The new alliance illustrates how the Web will play a key role in wireless technology. Customers of BellSouth subsidiary BellSouth Wireless Data LP, Woodbridge, N.J., will be able to create their own customized alert system by choosing from a menu of stock quotes, sports scores, weather updates and other items from Datalink.net, San Jose, Calif. The information will then appear on their pagers at preset intervals. In January, Atlanta-based BellSouth struck a deal with Fidelity Investments Ltd. that provides Fidelity customers with timely updates about their portfolio via BellSouth's pagers. BellSouth's interactive paging device -- a pager with a miniature keyboard -- allows mobile users to create and respond to messages directly from the device. Users can also send messages to other pagers, fax machines, telephones or computer users with Internet e-mail accounts. The pager operates over BellSouth's national wireless-data network. Other wireless companies are also forming Web-related partnerships. Recently, eBay Inc., the online auction site in San Jose, Calif., and paging company SkyTel Communications Inc., teamed to launch a service allowing eBay users to receive auction updates over pagers, cell phones and personal digital assistants. BellSouth's basic interactive paging service starts at $24.95 a month; fees for the new Datalink.net service will start at $4.95 a month. BellSouth estimates that its national wireless network covers 93% of the country's biggest metropolitan areas. BellSouth closed down 25 cents at $47.50 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading Monday. Datalink.net closed up 25%, or $1.0625, at $5.375 in over-the counter bulletin-board trading.
