Article Abstract:
Cybersurf Interactive Media of Calgary, Alberta, is funding the unveiling of its free 3Web Internet search engine in Toronto, Ontario, and Vancouver, British Columbia, in the fall of 1999, using a C$12-million funding from Call-Net Enterprises Inc. Ads placed on 3Web cannot be hidden or disabled because the ads are placed on the user's desktop rather than on the Internet. The portal also furnishes daily figures that allow marketers to know who is viewing their ads and how often.

Article Abstract:
Rogers Communications Inc is about to launch Rogers Interative TV, a service that will allow its subscribers to surf the Internet using their television sets and a cable connection. Initially, the service can be used to shop and bank online, but later on, it can be used to stream video or audio and download movie clips and audio files.
