Today's Story Highlights

Commerce Dept Signs Up Private Sector IT Partners
The U.S. Commerce Department recently launched a new effort to jump-
start more efficient ways to manage the vast amounts of data that reside
within the federal government and put it to productive use. The National
Technical Information Service, a unit within the department, is leading
the effort. NTIS has selected 35 joint venture partners, or JVPs, to
support the program.

Google Cites Amazon Competition in Response to EU
Google last week filed a response in a 6-year-old antitrust battle with
the EU, which has charged that its search ads unfairly promoted its own
shopping service and blocked rivals. The response addresses a revision
the EC sent to Google this summer. The commission's original statement
of objections narrowly defined online shopping services to exclude
services like Amazon, Google noted.

Facebook Share Price Falls Despite Blowout Quarter
Facebook on Wednesday reported a record Q3, beating analysts'
expectations for the fourth straight quarter, but concerns among
investors about increased expenditures and the company's future
prospects drove down share prices. They closed Thursday at $119.95, down
more than $7 from Wednesday's closing price of $127.17. Friday saw
little movement, with a closing price of $120.75.

Microsoft Launches Teams to Foil Office 365 Poachers
Microsoft has launched Teams, a new collaboration offering designed to
fend off Office 365 competitors. The new chat-based workspace product
brings together people, conversations and content, along with some
familiar productivity tools, to facilitate collaboration on projects.
"With Microsoft Teams, we aspire to create a more open, digital
environment," noted Microsoft VP Kirk Koenigsbauer.

Can Charter Turn a Frog Into a Prince?
Charter intends to revive the damaged Time Warner Cable image and brand
in the minds of the customer and investor, which is both a challenge and
an opportunity. Charter and Comcast are two of the companies American
consumers hate the most. However, the pay-TV industry has begun a
complete transformation. In the coming new world, both Charter and
Comcast may have a second chance.
