...They include Cybershop, Ktel and Marketguide. But the real Internet companies, like AOL and Yahoo, offer something different. They can sell ads for luxury cars and discount brokers that will reach well-off people, at work and at home, much more efficiently than either TV or off-line, dead-tree media.
