Nice and interesting discussion after micheldas rebirth as prophet. I am not superstitious, but began to touch wood, when I read his refreshing up up and away projections - especially concerning the time factor. As SB is the Nr. 1 Internet player for the Asian region it certainly will profit from the huge potential if management of company is well done but the development of stock price will still be influenced by the actual uncertainties of the general mood toward IT in general. BTW where can I find some official announcement about the share split?

The value of the unlisted holdings for Softbank is really the wild card here. I have to say that these new IPOs will be viewed with a more critical eye in the future, but quality and a solid business plan with profits at the end of a (not too long) tunnel will be important. I hope this new attitude will not permanently derail the Speednet venture. There are rumors that there is some question about when the venture is expected to show a profit. Perhaps Tokyo Electric Power is not too comfortable with an endless stream of red ink? Don't they understand that Speednet is an Internet Company? <G>. This may actually be a healthy sign.
