re:In a CBS, Sun, Netscape, AOL deal the possibilities are endless. Marvin, think about it. Netscape wasn't making any money. AOL makes only a paltry amount of money. CBS isn't all that great. In reality, 0+0+0=0 but through the magic of Wall Street 0+0+0=Big $$$ TheStreet.com wrote a lengthy article critical of the AOL+NSCP+SUNW deal. thestreet.com Dale

Hi Marvin - Here is another view point regarding CBS....From what I can tell, CBS needs to do something quickly and BIG to top the rest of the current industry deals. A CBS, SUNW, Netscape and AOL deal IMO is too far out in left field (too many parties involved)....but you never really know. redherring.com From the article: "The value of a dot By David Simons Red Herring Online February 10, 1999 On February 4, CBS (CBS) chief executive Mel Karmizan announced that he would consider a public offering of CBS Internet assets, which primarily consist of a 38 percent stake in MarketWatch.com (MKTW) and 12 percent of SportsLine USA (SPLN). "The objective is to create a stock with an Internet-rich valuation, which CBS could then use to acquire other Internet properties. That's a weak plan...." ============================================================== I wonder if Sunw's set top box and Jini could play any role with CBS's Internet plans?? EKS
