Today's Story Highlights

OMB Prohibits 'Wasteful' PC Purchasing Practices
Consumers who purchase desktop or laptop computers are able to select
various options. When it comes to paying for the device, however, each
consumer has the buying leverage of exactly one. If the customer is the
U.S. government, the transaction surely involves a lot of pricing
leverage for bulk purchasing. Not really, says OMB, which has launched a
program to change the way agencies purchase PCs.

PRM's Next Act
Partner relationship management has seen its ups and downs over the
first part of this century. Running an indirect channel is vitally
important to any vendor trying to extend its reach without incurring the
high costs of building a sales team and all that supports it. Many
vendors figure it's more economical to pay partners for performance than
to endure the corporate buildout.

NY AG Could Be Broadband-Speed Mythbuster
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched an
investigation into Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner Cable. The
purpose of the probe is to determine whether three of the state's top
telecom companies are providing high-speed broadband Internet as
advertised to consumers and businesses. The probe was launched in
response to consumer complaints on the issue.

Dish Network to Automate TV Ad Sales
Dish Network on Monday launched Dish Media Sales, an automated
marketplace that will let advertisers buy TV spots the same way they can
buy ads online. With the initiative, Dish will give advertisers the
ability to purchase targeted, linear TV ads, impression by impression,
using real-time bidding technology -- similar to the way online ads are
purchased.
