I justreturned from the FlashNet distributor conference. They will be ending the free PC offer. They are relocating their hard ware to a larger building, putting in new phone equipment. The PP holders have been selling some of their shairs, so this is one reason why it is bottomed,but hopefully that will end soon. I think it has bottomed and depending on when the PP holders stop selling it should start to move up. I am buying at these prices.

(Nasdaq: FLAS - news) today announced that Lee Thurburn, a co-founder of FlashNet, has officially stepped down as Chairman of the FlashNet Board of Directors to start a new Internet venture. Thurburn, who stepped down as chief executive last month, will remain a FlashNet director. The company intends to announce a new Board Chairman in the fourth quarter. As a part of this announcement, FlashNet also trumpeted the appointment of Russell Wiseman to chief operating officer. ``Russ Wiseman brings several years of operating experience to FlashNet from such companies as PrimeCo Personal Communications and NYNEX. I am excited to have him on our team, and I am confident that he will be a key player in helping to execute the company's strategic plan,' said FlashNet Chief Executive Officer and Director Scott Leslie. As described in its initial S-1 filing, FlashNet will sharpen its focus on small and medium sized businesses, while at the same time continuing to aggressively grow its residential base. To clarify recent press reports, Leslie said, ``We are seeking to boost average revenue per subscriber and accelerate our move to profitability with business services, however we will continue to primarily target the residential dial-up business, leveraging past successes such as our 'Free PC' offer.' FlashNet's goal is to become a leading provider of high-value Internet services to consumers and small-to-medium sized businesses. As part of this strategy, the company intends to deliver a full complement of Web hosting, e-commerce, communications and applications services designed to bring the power and efficiency of the Internet to small businesses.

Worth, scheduled for the fourth quarter. FlashNet has grown to become one of the largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the nation, with approximately 220,000 subscribers as of June 30, 1999, and service accessible by more than 80 percent of the U.S. population. FlashNet seeks to provide best-in-class service and customer support for its access, communications and content customers. ``The past four years have been tremendously rewarding for me, watching FlashNet grow from being just a dream into a leading ISP for both consumers and small businesses,' said Thurburn. ``The time is right for me to do something different, and FlashNet's solid management team is well prepared to lead this company to the next level.' FlashNet Communications, based in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of the largest Internet service providers in the United States, serving consumer and small- business customers nationwide.
