Wall Street was looking for a net profit of a penny per share. <<FULL STORY: http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=404418 ----------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS TO GO ----------------------------------------------------------------- Online retailer Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) has been "dramatically" scaling back the engineering and business development resources devoted to its "Amazon Anywhere" mobile commerce unit, according to The Wall Street Journal, despite broad proclamations about the growth potential of wireless commerce. Optical network operator Qwest Communications (NYSE: Q) announced four contracts for broadband Internet communications services worth "more than $30 million." Networking equipment giant Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) will provide China Telecom with more than 500 high-speed routers over the next year as the Chinese company works to establish a network that spans the country. The equipment will be used in ChinaNet, China Telecom's Internet service provider. Financial terms were not disclosed. Retailer Kmart's (NYSE: KM) BlueLight.com Internet service operation agreed to an expanded service pact with broadband carrier Level 3 Communications (Nasdaq: LVLT). Bluelight.com is part-owned by Softbank, an investor in The Motley Fool, and Martha Stewart Omnimedia (NYSE: MSO), the latter covered in Fool News & Commentary last week. http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=404419 Drugmaker Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: WPI) said first-quarter profits from operations were $0.40 per share, up from $0.37 last year and in-line with market expectations.
