Internet Heavyweights Join Forces To Shape Web

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nine of the world's leading Internet companies 
have joined forces to form a coalition to make their powerful voices 
heard in directing the future of the World Wide Web.

America's top dot-com companies said in a statement issued Monday that
NetCoalition.com would speak out for the interests of the Internet 
industry and seek to influence government policymakers.

``In founding NetCoalition.com these leading entrepreneurs are 
responding to members of Congress who tell us they need innovative 
online approaches to the unique challenges facing the Internet,'' 
said Daniel Ebert who will be coordinating the coalition's Washington 
operations.

The Coalition include Internet heavyweights America Online, Yahoo!, 
and Amazon.com as well as DoubleClick, eBay, Excite+Home, Inktomi, 
Lycos and theglobe.com.
