IPO Central points out that Pacific Internet PCNTF - the leading Internet Service Provider ISP in Singapore, is scheduled to go public this week. PCNTF,which is expected to rocketfrom its $13-15 may have been pushed back till next week but just in case Songwire thought it would be prudent to dig up other foreign ISPs trading publicly in the US.
Among them Australian OZEMY Ozemail, Globix GBIX, which is expanding by opening an office in London and speculative penny play Xin Net XNET in China.
But one small cap with sterling partner connections including Compaq, MCI/Worldcom and German electronics giant Seimans may be the one to watch.
Telepartner A/S, TPARY is a Scandinavian company that seems to have its eyes focused clearly on the internet. TPARY has partnered with MCI/Worldcom to offer a broad range of telephony, Internet and related services in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in close cooperation with MCI WorldCom and its Internet subsidiary UUnet. The new agreement gives TPARY subsidiary Primaerdata A/S the opportunity to offer the Norwegian business community access to one of the largest Internet backbones with more than 1,000 locations worldwide, which was not previously available to Norwegian business. biz.yahoo.com
