HIPLANESDRIFTER, you did it! You moved us into positive territory. Here's something else to consider beyond the banter, something more and more I'm going to try and stay away from. By the way, did you get through to Burgess? You'll all like this! (from internet.com) IBM Boss Sees $200 Billion in E-Commerce By 2000 [March 20] IBM CEO Lou Gerstner said he thinks the market for Internet commerce will hit $200 billion a year by the end of the century. Gerstner, a keynote speaker at the CeBIT information technology fair in Germany, said: "I believe that's a conservative forecast." "It's not hyperbole to say that the 'network' is quickly emerging as the largest, most dynamic, restless, sleepless marketplace of goods, services and ideas the world has ever seen," Reuters quoted Gerstner as saying. He praised Internet companies like bookseller Amazon.com as pioneers that are reshaping business practices, predicting huge consequences for public policy. And he urged governments to ensure that people have cheap access to the Internet and warned against discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce, saying that privacy should be protected by allowing encryption of private and business documents. Also at the trade show, Jozef Cornu, president and chief operating officer at French telecommunications group Alcatel Alsthom, took the wraps off new network technology that he said would enable Internet access 100 times faster than today's networks. "Internet business will increase exponentially, with 10% traffic growth monthly and the number of users worldwide doubling each year," he said. Klaus Eierhoff, multimedia chief at Bertelsmann, Europe's biggest media group, said German companies were more reluctant to embrace Internet commerce, but that the times were changing. "Electronic commerce is not the distant future for us, but already reality," he said. "But we are at the beginning. We're at the place where the U.S. was two or three years ago." German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, sharing the platform with Gerstner, also sang the praises of the Internet as the engine for new jobs and a vast global marketplace that never sleeps. Kohl said Germany was rushing into the information age and that the booming sector would create thousands of jobs. Last modified: Friday, 20-Mar-1998 09:37:40 EST

Ah! A sentient! I guess we were too busy sniping at eachother yesterday to help a fellow investor. Won't happen again. [...] and ALSO in connection with a VEHICLE TRACKING business [...] That would be reserved for NETZ-Autotrak that reportedly has been put on the back burner. Mainly a concept brought into NETZ by R. Meachem when he signed on as CEO. As Meachem apparently left, the status of this project is unknown. What the concept consisted of in detail has AFAIK never been publicly disclosed. And, oh by the way, that E-mail or fax would be nice {%>) ... I only get three posts a day, so don't expect answers to much from me ... sorry No problem. My suggestion is to check out ESVS as a means to understand NETZ better. ESVS is fully reporting and has just recently acquired 12 mil common from NETZ. Check their 8K, it's on Edgar (www.freedgar.com). It also lists a few phone numbers. You can also try to work your way through via SIM (www.simweb.com). I can be reached via email (in my profile).
