INSP IPO Infospace open 22s- IUSAA sympathy play details Internet IPO Infospace.com INSP has increased both price and the size of its offering to meet early demand-often a precursor to a high flyer. INSP had originally offered 4m shares at $9-11 but bumped the offering up to 5M at $13-15. According to Hoover's InfoSpace.com provides content to more than 800 Web sites, including America Online, Deja News, and go2net. The company also offers national Yellow and White Pages directories,integrated with related city guides, maps, news, and classified advertisements to create a complete package. InfoSpace directory services are licensed by: Netscape, ABCNews Internet Ventures, CBS, Lycos,The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition, Compuserve , Playboy , AT&T Worldnet Service,go2net's MetaCrawler ,BarnesandNoble.com, CommerceNet and others. infospace.com ipocentral.com Red Herring's take on INSP-"InfoSpace anchors its content with online white pages and yellow pages directories. Analysts say that it is one of the few destination sites -- and perhaps the only content-syndication player -- with a niche in local advertising markets. 'EBay may be the closest in terms of providing access to local markets,'saysMr. Roth, 'but they are more like online classified ads. ... InfoSpace can turn their yellow pages into high-impact advertising platforms." Mr. Roth and Mr. Fitzgibbon both see major first-day premiums for the Internet company. 'It could easily get as high as $40 per share,' predicts Mr. Roth. " redherring.com If INSP rockets as is now expected, there may be one small cap well worth keeping an eye on. InfoUSA IUSAA, formerly American Business Information, is the supplier of Yellow Pages, White pages,directories et al that INSP offers to its clients. From last July- "AMERICAN BUSINESS INFORMATION (now InfoUSA) AND INFOSPACE REACH AGREEMENT TO EXPAND INTERNET SALES JULY 29, 1998 "OMAHA, NE) -- American Business Information Inc.
