Maryann Bonjour ou Bonsoir dependant ou vous etes! I'll continue in English but if you wish to discuss in French, You're welcome to in PM's so as not to bore anyone. I know the Minitel. In fact it was the "French" local Internet. Hardware given out free at the FT offices, but phone bills???extremely expensive when minitel in use.The sites in question made their money by sharing the phone time with FT. Millions were made, especially in the "adult" sites and chat rooms. France has always been technologically advanced, but never managed to convince America.(Concorde-Airbus-minitel-military.) To come back to Click: Their deal with FT is as follows: Full partnership with FT through a lincensing agreement.(I'll ask Click to try and disclose their agreement to the public) FT markets their technology, their games etc, all over Europe. FT pays little upfront money, but gives Click a high percentage of revenues generated by sponsors and advertising. ( The potential in $$$ is huge). Having a partner such as FT is tremendous for Click's penetration of the market. I know also they will be announcing a very high profile PR in Paris to campain for them. (Click/FT) Maryann, I hope you will know who it is when they announce it so as to tell the thread about it. Now to the question why FT needs a small Israeli like Click? Simple, the investment to try and reach as close as possible R & D that click reached with the technological advance they have, would have been tremendous for FT, without garantee of a result. I posted in earlier posts the Forrester estimation for gaming sites on the Internet by year 2001. 1.6 billion dollars. FT prefers an alliance with revenue sharing. As simple as that. J'espere avoir repondu a vos questions le mieux possible. Bienvenu la France sur SI Regards Malko
