As I felt the chart was telling us in my post this morning - the stock has now definitely confirmed the psychological importance of the $100 mark. Down down down she fell like a knife through warm butter from $111 to $100.50. Then in the last minutes going into the close the buyers appeared, driving the price right back up for a close SOLIDLY over $100. Based on momentum alone, this chart says $130 to $180 in short order.

Monday March 29, 7:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: AboveNet Communications, Inc. AboveNet Teams With European Internet Pioneers To Improve Internet Performance in Germany Regional ISX Will Deliver Autobahn Speed for Online Traffic, More Reliable Connections SAN JOSE, Calif., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- AboveNet Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: ABOV - news), the architect of a global one-hop network that brings together high-bandwidth content sites and ISPs in a centralized co-location facility, today announced it has formed a strategic joint venture with some of Europe's leading Internet pioneers to build a regional Internet Service Exchange(TM) (ISX(TM)) in Frankfurt, Germany. Two of the partners, Michael Schneider and Andreas Schachtner, were founders of EUnet Germany, one of the first and most successful ISPs in Europe, which is now UUNET Germany. The third partner, Albrecht Kraas, in conjunction with Mr. Schachtner, is a managing director of the company, which operates Germany's Internet Exchange Point, DE-CIX. Today's announcement marks the second strategic joint venture in AboveNet's European expansion plan. Together with the Austrian ISX announced last week, the German ISX will allow AboveNet to reach most of the German speaking Internet market in Europe. AboveNet is working to form a series of joint ventures with experienced Internet management teams and strategic partners to create regional ISXs in the major business centers across Europe. Mr. Schneider and his team bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the partnership. EUnet Germany was a driving force in building EUnet Europe, which had operations in more than 30 countries and was the first and one of the largest pan-European ISPs. QWEST Communications, Inc. in March 1998 acquired EUnet Europe. In addition to founding EUnet, Mr. Schneider has also been the VP of a major German Telco, CNI -- today Mannesmann Arcor -- and is currently Chairman of the German ISP trade association, which is also the leading trade association for e-commerce, eco - Electronic Commerce Forum. Mr. Schneider is also the President of EuroISPA, the European ISP trade association. Through this alliance, AboveNet will provide the network architecture model, network intelligence and software technology necessary to create the German ISX facility. AboveNet will be the exclusive provider of connectivity services to the ISX and it will be linked directly into AboveNet's Global One Hop Network. The new German ISX, which is scheduled to open in the second half of 1999, will provide a robust, scalable Internet infrastructure designed to handle the accelerating Internet traffic growth occurring in Europe. ''I look forward to working with Michael Schneider, Andreas Schachtner and Albrecht Kraas. I believe that we have the opportunity to create a similar impact in the co-location business as they did years ago when they founded EUnet,'' said Warren J. Kaplan, President and Chief Operating Officer of AboveNet. ''Our goal is to extend our ISX vision around the world -- to which the German speaking countries are key and provide businesses and users everywhere with a convenient, powerful solution to Internet congestion.'' ''I have been working with Michael's team for several years and I am very impressed with their management and entrepreneurial skills,'' said Dr. Paul Steiner, Vice President, International-Europe for AboveNet. ''They have a successful track record, with a strong reputation and good standing in the German and European Internet community. This is an excellent team and they perfectly meet all our criteria for a leading strategic partnership.'' ''We are pleased to join forces with AboveNet, because their vision coincides with our own -- to improve Internet performance in Europe and reinforce the infrastructure to support expected traffic growth,'' said Michael Schneider, CEO of AboveNet Germany. ''AboveNet's management team has shown great integrity and commitment to making this joint venture a true partnership.'' The European Regional ISX facilities are being designed to deliver to local communities a fast, reliable and scalable Internet solution for mission-critical and high bandwidth applications. These world class facilities will co-locate both content providers and ISPs together to deliver superior connectivity for local access and a direct link into AboveNet's global network.
