Shopping Carts to Carry USA Today Electronic News: Videocart Inc., an IBM-backed company that mounts wireless personal computers onto shopping carts, will begin carrying electronic news provided by USA Today. Videocart said it reached an agreement with the newspaper to offer shoppers a choice of news summaries of the day’s top stories from USA Today’s four sections--News, Money, Sports and Life--directly on their carts when in the checkout area. The display will include news headlines scrolling on the bottom of the screen, with updates three times a day, the company said in a statement. The news service will be available within 45 days in all of the 200 stores that have Videocart’s systems, the company said.
