ID internet direct---the done deal. More details. Internet Direct trades as IDX on VSE, and has a home page with the BCTel deal description on www.direct.ca/id/world/feb9/done.html. Posted Feb 9. Its competition (ISTAR, trading as www.tse) has made a modest start in the North of BC by partnering with a cable company in Terrace, BC. The area sure is getting hot, since a private firm (at www.kermode.net) just came on line at Xmas 95. Istar has lots of resources. BC Tel has its monopoly and vast resources. The battle for BC will be interesting. So far, Istar and IDX stock prices have sagged a fair bit since their IPOs. In terms of fundamentals, I just wonder how any INTERNET service provider can make much money when there probably aren't many consumer/domestic PCs available for them to hook up to. Their domestic growth surely is constrained to be LESS than the growth of home computer purchases, which is in the doldrums. Meanwhile, the ISP dogfight will go on, and the stock prices of IDX and WWW (etc) might continue to stagnate or fall for some months. ----but notice that WWW's chart shows a candlestick HAMMER at $9, which implies that it is finding an end to its downtrend for a while.
