My understanding is that you can arrange for a shell company that will allow you to go public for a rather small cost, so I doubt Softbank allowed itself to be acquired solely for that purpose, although I'm certainly no expert in this area. Jim Chellis

Hi James, In the article about Softbank below: news.com Softbank Holdings (the US-based unit of the Softbank in Japan) was under reorganization by the mother company since it was having troubles in Japan. Apparently Softbank Holdings was selling Softbank Interactive Marketing as part of its restructuring. When Netmaster picked up Softbank Interactive Marketing it had been on the selling block for two months. So,on the surface, it looks like Softbank Interactive Marketing didn't have a choice as it apparently no longer fit into the plans of Softbank Holdings - I guess this would explain why Softbank(both the mother company and Softbank Holdings) gave up such a profitable segment - just an amateur's analysis since my major field is science. I think NETZ was very fortunate to come across this deal. Doc
