From the article: Mark Mastrini, president and chief operating officer of 800 Travel, said the company is coming "very close" to finalizing its Internet plans. "We are talking to several people who are considered major players on the Internet, and we feel a relationship with one of those agencies will do the trick for us." Which major player would that be? What sort of "relationship"? Mastrini's sounding confident too. Just a pump and dump? crim stock??? Are you sure?

More from the same article: But Mastrini said he's confident that the company's personalized service can be successful. "We've yet to see anyone selling tickets over the Internet make money," he said. "There may be a cost advantage (to not offering customers help from live agents)but if you're not generating additional revenue by reducing the cost, then you don't really have an advantage." Now isnt' this what everyone is complaining about "Internet valuations" - massive economies of scale - but unprofitable ones? Strange that a crim stock would have such a solid, profitable business plan. Just a front for other activities??? Read the quarterlies and annual report and figure it out. Mark
