Not a bad methodology The $250/UV ratio you derived is also consistent with the the $265/UV valuation put on Infospace, our dreaded competitor. Unfortunately for us, INSP is first to the public market, it's based in Redmond, Washington, and all in all, it is a lot sexier than a spin off from a tired software company. All that aside, however, the big internet market caps seem to be treading water and people are hungry for new issues. A few favorable comments or articles, and some publicity for the name Switchboard (which is a far superior name than Infospace for the service that it provides) and we could be off to the races. I just don't see much downside for BNYN in an internet frenzy that will continue for the foreseeable future. Let's take a ride.
