IT'S THE POTENTIAL BUSINESS MODEL...

I guess I am looking at this more from the perspective of the potential business model - integrated content and delivery - rather than a view that PA is some kind of savior or hero or genius.

For the same reason I kinda liked the Lycos/USA deal, although, once again, valuation issues were significant. Yes I am also long Lycos.

Since I wasn't in a position to invest a lot into Yahoo or AOL at their "beginnings" I want to take a shot here. Although I have done pretty well with them recently (past year or so) :). Every industry has its growth "phases", and I just don't believe in the often-warned theory that the Internet "bubble" will burst any time soon. Do a little research on Network Solutions and the number of URLs they are registering (as well as the profits for shareholders they are registering).

I am not hyping I am just sharing MHO. If not GNET or LCOS, somebody will take this to the next stage. Maybe AOL. Maybe at some point a real big media company e.g. a Time Warner or GE or similar. Just gotta stay tuned in. When I see how my 16 year old son and his friends use the internet as a matter-of-fact way of life, for homework research as well as for fun, I gotta believe...

Market closed...BUD time :)

Cheers.
