o Google CFO
Warns of Slowing Growth; Sparks Sell-Off
Mountain View, Calif. - Shares of Google closed down more

its revenue, triggering a sharp sell-off of the stock, which at one
point was down 10%. "Growth is slowing and now largely organic. The
search monetization gains have now largely been realized," Reyes
told attendees of a Merrill Lynch conference in New York. "I'm not
turning bearish at all. I think we've got a lot of growth a head of
us," he said. "It's a question of what rate."

is expected to reach 18 million by 2009, according to a new report

Accelerate Roll-out of Verizon FiOS TV Service
Richmond, Va. - In a win for Verizon, the Virginia House

local governments the authority to ensure that the company doesn't
solely target wealthy neighborhoods. Verizon already offers its
Internet-based FiOS TV service in parts of Northern Virginia.
