D.Austin, Outside of the management, I really like this part of NETS,
from the December 15th PR.
Bill Townsend, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, said, ''I've overseen the signing of more than 800 integrated content and advertising contracts over the last three years. That expertise has led me to fully understand what works and what doesn't. What we bring to the 18 to 24 year old market is the most finely tuned, total content integration the Internet has to offer anywhere. It offers companies like BlueFly (NASDAQ: BFLY - news), Dell Computer (NASDAQ: DELL - news), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH - news) and others the most effective way to reach out to young adults in the prime years when they determine brand preferences.''
Townsend added, ''Since the NET announcement, we've been deluged with inquiries from more than 80 companies, many of which Ben Bassi and I have worked with, that want to reach this important and lucrative market. Most of these discussions involve partnerships typically calling for integrating content, tools, or applications into our Website. Under these arrangements, e-commerce transactions would reside at our partner's site with fulfillment handled by the content partner or at our site. In order to drive the most benefit for our partners, most discussions involve exclusivity over a one to five year term. Based on my experience, this structure provides the greatest mutual benefit.''
And speaking of management...
