Internet Shock Absorber Inktomi is popular at $148 a share

And all this just for being an ISA…

“. By pushing content closer to users at the edges of the network, these services are designed to improve the Internet experience and enable new services for end users”

Hey! WaveMeters do it even better!
As a little matter of fact, WaveMeters are the ultimo in Internet Shock Absorbers. You can't “push” information related to content any closer to end users than localizing much of its processing on the consumers' desktops. And that ain't all WaveMeters WILL DO! Could it be that WAVX is one of the most grossly undervalued stocks on any exchange?

There is how Inktomi does its thing.

Now, if all WAVE has to do to be loved is to reduce a bit of friction in the damn system,
One day we will say: (at least those of us who speak a little Latin)
TANDEM VENIT AMOR!
(At last love has come!)
Hopefully at $148 a share at the very, very least!
Crescitur amor nummi quantum ispa pecunia crevit.
(The richer you get, the more you love money)

As explained verbatim at wave.com , at WAVE SYSTEMS we do it like this:

Localizing transactions has many advantages. It gives consumers the easiest way to acquire content. Consumers who use WaveMeters do not need to establish network connections more than once a month to acquire content products continuously off-line. Ultra-secure WaveMeters also eliminate the need for consumers to enter passwords, security codes or credit card information for each transaction.
Processing transactions at consumer desktops through WaveMeters also makes the Wave System more economically scalable to large numbers of consumers, avoiding transaction handling costs inherent in server-based systems. Local transaction processing with stored currency also lets WaveMeters handle micro-transactions down to a fraction of a cent.
WaveMeters store consumers' account balances, transaction logs, credit card information and execution licenses. The account balance is the money a consumer has in his or her WaveMeter that is available to spend on WaveEnabled content. Transaction logs are lists of customer activity (purchases, rentals and free trials). WaveMeters upload transactions in batches via transaction logs to WaveNet over TCP/IP connections. This arrangement uses server capacity with maximum efficiency. Transaction logs also provide Wave with marketing information that is valuable to content and channel partners.
In contrast to the Wave System, server-based distribution systems, require customers to linger online in real-time to shop, transfer funds and download content. This use of expensive server capacity adds "friction" to server-based electronic distribution systems reducing profits and competitiveness throughout the supply chain.

Ave atque vale
(Farewell and be well!)
