==============
I found the conference call to be strong and well balanced...A few notes

1-The Internet challenge is that we now have 300 million documents online with 1 million added a day, INKT provides the infrastructure to help all parties navigate efficiently and cost effectively.
2-July 4th is when the YHOO search service began, it is now up and running.
3-Traffic Server was launched at AOL a few weeks ago, they are proud of this and state that AOL and Telenor in Norway are very big wins for INKT
4-Outsourcing of core internet technologies is gaining strength and INKT should benefit from this trend.
5-Cache solves the bandwidth -vs- supply of data problem...
6-We should expect all expenses to rise as they ramp up all support services...they did not mention how much?
7-New search customers take about a qtr or two to fully ramp up into a full revenue stream, i.e., YHOO and C.NET.
8-INKT has several Operational Trials going on now with Traffic Server, again AOL and Telenor big wins.
9-They mentioned Open Base (sp) in Korea as either new customer or VAR...!?
10-Traffic Server Competition = Network Appliances (stronger)
Cache Flow (less of factor)
Cisco (not seeing now)
11-SOmeone mentioned that CEO of @Home was talking about working with INKT (could be HUGE)
12-They mentioned that there search business is strong and getting stronger (do not see much competition here)
13-Search business will grow and they mentioned that new search customers will be coming on board this qtr.
14-INKT 5 Key Initiatives are 1-Increase search queries
2-Add 3 more search customers
3-get Traffic Server up and fully running on a network ( I am assuming AOL and/or Telenor)
4- Add a Telecomm Cache customer
5- Successfully add sales service and support internationally (International focus)
15-Mix of revenue stream is 95% Domestic and 5% International, they see this mix changing over time.

Overall strong CC and they expect further strengthening of their business over time
