If someone knows how to make this link to profile for
UUnet, PSIX, Netcom, and anyother internet group I would
appreciate it because it is useful investor information for
all of them.
People who know the internet know that the private user will
not be the big contributor to the success of the net as a
commercial adventure. The real money will need to come from
businesses that set up and begin doing work over the net. A
direct indicator of stock plays are who the *.com accounts are
going to for their internet service provider. Of course there
may be money in the companies that use these providers like
ford.com, apple.com or whatever, but a real link is who is
getting the accounts. The following statics talk for themselves.
Take a hard look and make your own investment choices.
