Glenn: A statement on a Canadian National TV show should become a "SLOGAN" for free Internet companies like FreeServe (FREE), X-stream (XSNI), Cybersurf (CY), etc. The statement went something like this: "ADVERTISING ON THE INTERNET IS JUST 1 CLICK AWAY FROM A TRANSACTION". That has to be one major advantage for those advertising on television, radio, magazines and newspapers. Another point made was "there was $55 million spent in advertising on Canadian Internet companies last year, 150% over last year. However, there was $1.7 billion spent on Internet advertising in the United States". Glenn, X-stream's share volume has picked up considerably last couple of day's (145,000/day) maybe due to a huge partnership with Capital One, one of the world's largest credit card issuers with over 19 million customers.
