<<I do not believe that CMGI is going to hand them the plan. After all, CMGI does not have a vested interest in seeing Compaq succeed. >>
I disagree. Now that CMGI is a majority stakeholder in AV, and Compaq a minority stakeholder in CMGI, the two companies are forever intertwined (at least 'till one sells off their position) :-).
Point is, Compaq is large hardware builder/provider. Many, many, many people look at a Compaq keyboard everyday, in fact I'm typing on one right now. If CMGI is able to get Compaq to create a direct link from a Compaq keyboard to any number of CMGI's Internet Ventures, I'd say that's enough of a vested interest in helping Compaq succeed.
