NEWS Europe's largest ISP T-Online is considering a move into the pornography business in a bid to boost flagging revenues. Spanish language portal Ya.com, bought by T-Online last September for E550m (£340m), has signed a deal with pornography distributor Private Media Group to allow users access to its adult entertainment archives, according to The Guardian. The company is exploring new ways of generating revenue as prices for straightforward online advertising fall. The news follows a move by Germany's third-largest portal company, Freenet.de, to open an "erotic lifestyle portal", Fundorado.
