Upgrade from JP Morgan from neutral to overweight . . .

We believe INSP's investments in improved mobile distribution and
content
during 2004 will help the company post continued strong growth in 2005.
Our
channel checks indicate that ringtone downloads are growing 20%
sequentially.
We believe Mobile margins will stabilize in the mid-20 percent range.
Based on
these factors, we are increasing our Q1 Mobile revenue estimate to
$37.2,
reflecting 14.5% Q/Q growth.
* With $284 million in cash ($7.50 per share) as of 4Q, and an
additional $83
million ($2.19 per share) from the settlement of the InfoSpace
derivative case
in March, InfoSpace has the strongest and most flexible balance sheet of
all
of the ringtone competitors. We believe InfoSpace's strong balance sheet
will
enable it to make strategic acquisitions in both its ringtone/gaming
businesses.
* On an Enterprise Value/EBITDA basis, INSP shares are currently trading
at 11x
our F05 EBITDA estimate of $98.7M, a 49% discount to its peers which
trade
at 21.7x our F05 ests. Based on INSP's strong balance sheet & promising
growth
prospects, we believe that there could be an opportunity for multiple
expansion
