The terms of the technology pact lets AOL Time Warner double the capacity and coverage of its AOL Transit Data Network by adding routers from Cisco, which lets AOL support the growth of its interactive brands. Cisco will continue to advertise across AOL Time Warner online properties, and continue its marketing relationships with the company's print and cable divisions.
In the deal with CVS, consumers will be able to use the "You've Got Pictures" service in more than 4,100 stores when the new version is launched this summer. The service, delivered in conjunction with Eastman Kodak, will be interactive and will allow consumers to view, share, and store photographs online. When consumers drop off their negatives, in addition to receiving both prints and negatives, their pictures will be also delivered directly to their AOL account.
