Yahoo To Terminate "Yahoo Plus" Web Package

Internet company Yahoo Inc. will terminate a bundled offering of
special Web services next month based on consumer response to the
package, though the individual features will still be available, the
company said on Tuesday.

"Yahoo Plus" aggregated features such as extra e-mail storage,
protection against unwanted spam e-mail, an online game creation
service and streaming music in one package. The cost of the package
was $3.95 per month with an annual subscription or $4.95 per month
without an annual commitment.

"When we listened to our users it became clear that Yahoo Plus was not
an essential service," a Yahoo spokeswoman said. "It is just this one
amalgamation of premium services (to be canceled); we still offer the
individual premium services."

Yahoo notified Yahoo Plus subscribers that the service will terminate
on April 22.
