To brk and brb I only now noticed that you two share almost the same name and seem to be both from Seattle. Are you brothers? I compared the results for the last two quarters: go2net.com siliconinvestor.com It generates one question for me. In the December quarter the liabilities showed a deferred revenue of 6,7 Million. The current quarter shows 17,6 of deferred revenue. What is deferred revenue and why has it gone up by 10 Million? - is it future revenue already under contract, but not booked yet into real revenue, like the 3 year contract with Hasbro? - or is it future revenue already booked in the current quarter but yet has to materialize? It is presented as a liability, so it looks like future revenue already booked in current figures. That would be funny accounting, because the cost related to this revenue will be in future quarters. Can some of the bright ones put a light on this question? Regards, Pareto

brk, Russ made a big deal(during the conference call yesterday) about exactly what you have said in your post. I believe that the next 90 days will be huge on the jv/acquisition front. What some non-believers on this board don't seem to understand is that just because you have the $ doesn't mean you need to go out and spend it on overvalued assets.Do you think Blue Mountain Arts(excite) was a great acquisition at $800 million? I don't.I think NDB,CTCH were GREAT investments.....I think the Broadband Partners deal will turn out to be amazing for GNET......we will see.......I look at the results for GNET each and every quarter and I am very impressed, I am sure Russ and company are WELL aware of the needs of GNET as a company.......much more aware than a certain idiot that posts on this thread to read his own name.
