Actually, several news publishers are simply delegating their Internet 
Business to ISPs.  ISPs are also getting very competitive about going 
after the Advertizing revenues, especially in Real-Estate, Automotive, 
and "Personals" advertizing.  These "big ticket" items have a clearly
identifiable payback and brokers are realizing a substantial benifit in
Web Advertizing.  I've had trouble keeping staff who run their own web
sites because they end up earning more in ad revenue that I can pay them 
in salary.
