WC,

Well, my opinion is that it's on its way up, but in the short term I'd be surprised if we broke much out of the $30-$40 range.

The Street seems to understand the potential of RNWK, but they also seem to understand that there are still obstacles to overcome, i.e. bandwidth and quality issues. By contrast, other Internet stocks like YHOO and SEEK don't really suffer from the same problems, so they're getting more full valuations.

I'd also like to see RNWK spending more time communicating solutions along with their technology. They seem to be promoting their technical credentials quite a bit, and skimping on actual solutions that their customers implement.

I had no problem finding information about their products on their site, but I had to spend some time looking to see what their users are actually doing. Some of their releases highlight solutions, like their announcement regarding partnering with Macromedia's Authorware product to promote learning. But we need to see more of that.

If they can convey the idea that their technology can produce real solutions now regardless of bandwidth issues then I suspect they'd get a better valuation.
