Tango,
Wait until Toronto can use the free internet in August or September. Customer base is going way up along with revenue from advertisers on the 3web. The shorters seem awfully quite. I wonder what bird got their tongue. The mocking bird maybe. What goes around comes around. They have been mocking this stock so long that it is enjoyable not to hear them for a week. Laughing all the way to the bank. Barney Fife

Freeserve set for 45% premium
Patrick Hosking, Evening Standard
16 July 1999

nternet euphoria is set to send shares in Freeserve,
the Dixonsowned web-access business, to a massive
45% premium, according to a grey-market price
quoted today.

Spread-betting bookies IG Index
are quoting a spread of 202p to
209p for the closing price on 2
August, the first day of dealing.
Bookies City Index were
meanwhile quoting a 195p-201p
spread. That compares with an
indicative offer price of 130p to
150p.

The 114,000 small investors who
regis-tered an interest in the £1.4
billion float look set to make substantial profits even at
the very top of the range.

However, Freeserve is losing more than 4000 registered
users a day, according to an analysis of fine print in the
prospectus*. For every five new users who sign up,
three desert. More than 826,000 users have left since
the September launch and the figure is running at well
over 100,000 a month.

This so-called 'churn rate' is under intense scrutiny as
analysts worry that there is nothing to stop users
defecting to rival free services.

A spokesman said the lost users were not necessarily
deserting: they could be temporarily absent because of
the warm weather or on holiday.

BT, Virgin, WH Smith, Tesco and - as of yesterday,
Manchester United - are among dozens of rival free
service providers. Tiny Computers has raised the stakes
further by offering free PCs and Internet access to
people subscribing to a new phone network.
