...Internet--that deliver huge benefits to users while slashing profit margins for existing businesses (think of what the Net did to travel agencies). It's easy to see how a blazing-fast connection on a big-screen laptop--anytime, anywhere--might pose a threat to firms like Sprint and Verizon, which are investing billions of dollars to deliver fancy 3G data services over your cell phone or laptop at slower rates and steeper fees. Yet there's no proof consumers will pay. "No wireless data-only network in the world has ever made money," warns Andrew Seybold, a wireless analyst...
Harbor Lights Financial Group of Toms River, N.J., is marketing a service to manage, not just give advice about, 401(k) portfolios for a fee of as much as 1% annually.

Altria Group, formerly Philip Morris [6.7%], is one of my top-10 holdings...
...maybe soon; Verizon is appealing the ruling. If it stands, it could open the door to as many subpoenas as the music industry's army of lawyers can churn out. When you share songs online, you broadcast an address that your ISP can link back to you. But right now there are just too many services--and way too many users--for either the industry or your ISP to monitor them all. Subpoenas will aim for obvious targets on the most popular services--like that Kazaa user, who had put more than 600 pirated tunes online. Those who download...
