I think USAI is a good play even without Ticketmaster Online, they have a book value of over $15.00 a share, $300,000,000 in cash and almost no debt. USA Networks is one of the largest cable networks plus don't forget they also own First Auction and Internet Shopping Network. Web site: firstauction.com Web site: isn.com I think TMCS equates to .27 shares for every USAI share.

USA Networks, was I beleive the first network to air a show (CNET) specifically about the internet on TV.... hmmm what's showing tonight? *THE NET* What happens when an average person leading a routine life receives an e-mail they aren't supposed to see? The Net surfs its way to a new time slot @ 10pm/9C usanetwork.com USA Networks has always been very progressive when it comes to the internet... Your other question How much will the Tickmaster IPO contribute to USAI share price... take a look at what Geocities did to CMGI... CMGI was the internet company that noone knew until Geocities went public... USA Networks will be the Network no one ever heard of until the Citysearch/Tickmaster IPO -Urlman killpopradio.com
