Wait a second... I have to say I agree with Levy.. First off, before GNET bought SI, Hypermart, Haggle Online, etc... What was it.??? Russ and his gang have continued to find companies that are profitable and that's their #1 bottom line...(profitability) Yes, they have got into the top 10 in eyeballs... Yes, Russ has stated that he's trying to build a vertical company... Levy's thoughts here do not take away from that (think...besides getting 350 million from PA...why do you think Russ and gang were willing to sell their personal stake in GNET to PA...(GNET is going to be the start page for all of PA's cable customers--eyeballs) Levy merely is trying to propose another means in which to capture more eyeballs... As far as new technology...requiring experience...well...like GNET has done with all the companies it has bought many of the individuals that built and maintained those companies have joined the team (I don't know this for sure; however, it would seem likely--please correct this assumption if wrong)... I'm sure Russ and his hunters can find or work a deal with some solid (finacial-wise) ISPs needing capital or a chance to become part of a class act company...willing to work GNET into their customer base....(especially those that require the customer to view specific advertisement...etc... Anyhow...unless someone from the company is willing to come on line and answer this line of thinking...it's all supposition Russ?? or anyone else?? v/r Steve
