<<It would take at least $1 Billion to recreate what Yhoo offers today>> Maybe on Mars. I use YHOO daily, and I don't see much in the way of product differentiation between YHOO and the rest of the bunch. I have NEVER clicked on any of the advertisers that are promoting on the site. Did Microsoft spend a billion to put Start together? Hardly. YHOO has a brand name but so do a lot of other companies that could easily start a search engine, portal, whatever......you can't compare AOL to YHOO, AOL is a fee for service, YHOO is free...I used Microsoft as an example, the bottom line is the barriers to entry are very low, the success after entry is up to the competitors and the market place....I don't agree with most that YHOO represents some kind of internet power that can't be touched... Good Luck Vinman
