This is a fairly significant step ahead for Yahoo.

Microsoft in the long term wants the kind of strong position in mobile devices that it has in PCs.

No question that Microsoft has made significant inroads compared to where they were just a couple of years ago _ which was no where.

What are they going to do from a rights perspective? ... Are they going to be more and more restrictive? Or are they going to embrace new business models, new ways to use content that is going to allow this stuff to flow?

The most important thing is to make sure people have access to broadband.

That doesn't sound like a big number, but it is up from zero a couple of years ago. That is rapid growth.

More people are getting used to getting their news, sports, weather, music and video on that device, and with that will be more demand for faster networks.

It's a very nice innovation. It's more about retaining customers and giving them more reasons to stick with Yahoo.

You won't have to dial up and the bandwidth will be higher.
