AOL stock surges on Internet ad deal

Article Abstract:

Unilever's stock registered a record price of $111 per share following the announcement of three-year, multi-million-dollar advertising deals with America Online and Microsoft constituting the biggest commitment to cyberspace by a packaged-goods maker. The deal, aimed at better understanding consumer needs, will reportedly create an ad campaign that will produce over 1 billion impressions or views of the Anglo-Dutch consumer products maker's brands over the next three years. The campaign will also test the Internet's electronic commerce features that allows consumers to purchase products online.

Taiwan quake could shake up holiday deliveries

Article Abstract:

Electronic shipments from Taiwan may face some slowdown during the holiday season. Experts are forecasting that the prices of personal computers could skyrocket by up to 20% after Taiwan was hit by an earthquake in Sep 1999. For instance, Mattel Inc may experience delays for the shipments of some of its technology-dependent toys, according to spokesman Sean Fitzgerald. Compaq Computer Corp also expects 'spot delays' in Oct and 1999 of some consumer PC lines.

AOL prepares to grab Net users from Europe's phone titans

Article Abstract:

America Online (AOL) expects to replicate its success in the US in Europe as telecommunications regulators on the continent force Europe's major phone companies to phase out their per-minute Internet fees, which fund free online services, in favor of a flat monthly fee for Internet services. AOL uses the latter fee structure to encourage consumers to spend more time viewing online ads and shopping within its 'walled garden' proprietary service.
