<< ...DRIV provides the e-commerce technology which allows companies like SWNT (DRIV's clients include Lotus/IBM, Symantec, Electronic Arts, Broderbund, etc.) the ability to perform ESD in a safe, secure and efficient manner. ...In addition to ESD, DRIV has created online dealerships for the sale of products other than software (ie: COOL is a client).>> It is precisely for these reasons that I believe that DRIV is currently EXTREMELY undervalued and therefor has great potential for moving up in price fairly quickly.

Tollkeeper? I respectfully disagree that DRIV is a toll keeper. They are a e-commerce enabler. They set up sales systems. They make their cut off software sales just once. WAVX is a better example of a toll keeper. DocStone

Good Point Elliot. DRIV provides the back end technology so that other sites such as cyberian outpost, microwarehouse, multiplezones, etc. can sell over the internet. In other words it doesn't matter who wins or loses in the on line retail game. It makes more sense for these companies to OUTSOURCE their Electronic Software Distribution capabilities to a distributor such as DRIV, rather than keep it in house. The on line retail companies will want to stay with their core competencies....IE: Marketing / Selling / Promoting. Digital River gets a cut of everything sold through these on line retail companies. -=tGd=-
