DLK...thoughts? DLK has recently made an agreement with WizShop Earthlink Mall. biz.yahoo.com Earthlink (ELNK) is partly owned by Sprint, and has 3.1 million members. "Company to Wirelessly Enable Internet e-Commerce Sites SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2000--Datalink.net (AMEX:DLK - news) a leading Wireless Application Service Provider (w-ASP) with patented technology, today announced the signing of a contract with Wizshop.com. Datalink.net will provide WAP and Palm wireless transaction capabilities for Wizshop's shopping portals including Earthlink, MindSpring, Internets.com, Worldpages.com and Wizshop.com. The $1 million contract states that Datalink.net will create WAP and Palm wireless transaction services that will add an additional level of functionality to e-commerce sites developed by Wizshop.com. Datalink.net technology will wirelessly enable shopping portals engineered by Wizshop.com making them ``mobile malls''. In addition, Wizshop.com will deploy Datalink.net's Wireless Bookmark technology to its e-commerce customers.

The company combines best-of-breed shopping technologies with a highly scaleable database and a customizable front-end, enabling each ISP to create their own shopping portal. "Through this partnership, Datalink.net will initially wirelessly enable EarthLink's e-commerce site. The site was recently rebuilt by Wizshop.com using the patented EarthLink shopping interface. The new site allowed them to maintain multiple levels of sellable real estate, while adding new shopping features such as comparison-shopping and over 750 new stores for EarthLink members. This technology will allow the EarthLink mall to be accessible from wireless devices such as a WAP phone or Palm device." Some of the companies in this Mall are: Amazon.com, eBay, Sprint PCS, Godiva, e-Stamps, Cars Direct Wherehouse Music, Travelscape, PC Flowers and Gifts, Vitamins.com, Lands End, NetGrocer, The Gap, Miadora, Ashford.com DLK has been compared to AETH and SVNX. DLK is currently working with Chase, the nature of this agreement has not yet been announced. With the other wireless companies, are there any similar agreements to use wireless technology for comparison shopping? I know that AETH and SVNX have wireless banking and upcoming wireless stock trading ...but I'm not sure who is currently involved with wireless shopping. Any ideas? Thanks! Libbyt
