Title:  ERNST & YOUNG: Content packagers to play crucial gatekeeper role owning customer relationships
               Summary:
                          London -- On-line portals and aggregators of content and information - Content Packagers - will play a vital
                          role in winning and retaining the communications customer, according to a study from business advisers Ernst &
                          Young based on interviews with CEOS of the world's top communications companies. Successful communications
                          companies will become or tie up with high-value content packagers; failure to do so will result in displacement and
                          commoditisation of services.   Source: M2 Communications Ltd., Date: 06/03/1999 15:40
