Jenna, RE: RCNC The fundamentals are the compelling part of this story; a nationwide, state of the art fiber network carrying voice, data, and video. The buildout is well underway up here in Beantown and folks are saying bye-bye to Bell Atlantic, ATT, and the cable carriers in droves. The funky part is the accounting, and RCNC won't make a penny til the buildout stops, but when that happens look out; single points of market share mean huge dollars. Hopefully this sheds a little light. I follow your thread and enjoy your tireless effort. BV

To: Jenna From: lizard lick Wednesday, Jan 13 1999 8:56AM EST -Preview- Jenna, alert on SLEU press release this morn and new revenue model for search engines. Read it when you can, could turn into a leader Wednesday January 13, 8:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: iSleuth.com iSleuth.com To Initiate Innovative New Traffic Building Program Company Expects Program To Further Boost Traffic Considerably FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- iSleuth.com (OTC Bulletin Board: SLEU - news) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with TeknoSurf Teknologies, Inc. for the initiation of a new, innovative traffic building program whereby the Company will offer advertisers and web site owners the opportunity to earn 2 cents for each time a unique user performs a search from an iSleuth search panel located on their web site. As such, site owners will be able to place a free iSleuth search engine panel on their site and, in what is believed to be an industry first, they will now also be able to derive revenue based directly on searches performed from that panel. Under the terms of the agreement, TeknoSurf will provide all of the software programming necessary to accommodate the placement of the panels, direct links to the iSleuth.com site and tracking of panel activity. John J. Bennett, Chairman, President and CEO of iSleuth.com, stated, ''We are extremely excited about the prospects for this new activity-based, traffic-generating revenue model. This is potentially a very profitable win- win situation for both iSleuth.com and web site owners that goes far beyond the traditional model of charging advertisers on a per page impression basis. Based on our initial marketing efforts and discussions with site owners and webmasters, we expect to place iSleuth search panels on at least 100 sites within the next 6 to 8 weeks, and be able to add to that number considerably in the coming months. We see this new program initially boosting our site traffic by as much as three-fold. Coupled with our soon to be launched e-mail and chat services, we now see total site traffic increasing from our current rate of about 400,000 unique visitors monthly, to well over 2 million within the next 2 to 3 months.'' TecknoSurf Teknologies, a developer of Internet technologies since 1996, specializing in targeted web site advertising, has designed and implemented more than 30 different affiliate and revenue-generating programs for use on the Internet. TeknoSurf currently manages programs on over 5,000 web sites, representing approximately 150 million page views per month. iSleuth.com owns and operates the iSleuth.com web site, isleuth.com , home of The Internet Sleuth, considered by many leading industry experts to be one of the web's premier and most powerful search engines. The Company recently announced plans to launch a free e-mail service, iSleuthMail, prior to the end of January 1999. The Company has also recently announced the formation of an alliance with major Internet player Inktomi Corporation for the development of a new comparative e-commerce shopping service at the iSleuth.com site, called the iSleuth Marketplace. The iSleuth site and search engine, originally founded in 1995, operated initially as a non-commercial site designed to meet the needs of institutional and educational researchers. It was acquired by iSleuth.com during mid-1998, at which time the Company embarked on its current program to accelerate its commercial development. The Company's business plan calls for continuing to build on its current foundation to further develop the iSleuth.com site into a premier Internet gateway that will serve as a home base for Internet users.
