Wireless Internet Access Gets Personal

Verizon Wireless` Mobile Web Service Gives Customers Power to Personalize Wireless Net Experience

BEDMINSTER, N.J., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Combining the mobility of wireless communications with access to World Wide Web-based information and the ability to easily personalize that information, Verizon Wireless today launched a new national service, Mobile Web.

The new service comes just three months after the launch of Verizon Wireless.

Mobile Web is designed to meet each user`s specific personal and business needs, with a simple intuitive format making it easy for the user to customize what they want to see on their handset. Users can customize either directly from their handset or via desktop using the http://www.MyVZW.com Web site, powered by InfoSpace. The ``MyVZW`` Web site provides a personal home page enabling users to identify text message alerts they want sent to the handset as well as select only the Internet-based information they want.

``The introduction of Mobile Web marks a new era in the convergence of wireless and the Internet,`` said Denny Strigl, president and CEO for Verizon Wireless. ``This new service gives users the most convenient way to wirelessly access the content they want from the Internet. At the same time, Mobile Web lays the groundwork for the next evolution of wireless Internet applications.``

Verizon Wireless` Mobile Web service is designed to be the foundation for launching new information-based services. Strigl added, ``This service offering is just the beginning. We fully expect to optimize the value of Mobile Web by continuing to introduce wireless access to new and exciting content and by integrating new functionality such as location-specific offerings.``

Through a series of agreements Verizon Wireless has made with Internet content providers, Mobile Web customers can access a variety of Web sites ranging from personal finance and shopping, to news and entertainment. By customizing the information desired via MyVZW.com, users can receive updates on their own stock portfolio and have an alert sent when a particular stock reaches a targeted price point.

``Comparison shop, book airline flights, make restaurant reservations, receive your daily horoscope, and keep up with your favorite sports team with Mobile Web and much more,`` said Debra Carroll, vice president of marketing for Verizon Wireless. ``Mobile Web is valuable, personal and affordable for all types of Internet users, even those who have yet to explore the wired alternatives.``

Verizon Wireless Makes Wireless Internet Access Practical

For a competitive price of $6.95 a month, Verizon Wireless customers can add on Mobile Web service to any digital service plan, including the company`s popular SingleRate® flat-rate pricing plans which start at $35.00 for monthly access. Mobile Web customers may use their bundled minutes for both voice and Web services and can receive up to 100 message alerts monthly at no additional charge. Additional alerts are 10 cents. In addition, customers may choose from as many as six different Web-capable wireless handsets.

User choice is central to the Mobile Web offering. Currently, information from 32 branded sites is available. (See sidebar for complete listing of content partners.) Specifically, Mobile Web customers can access the following tools and information based on their needs and interests:


-- Messaging -- e-mail -- [e-mail], access to other e-mail
accounts and e-mail alerts
-- News, Weather, and Sports -- headline alerts, final score alerts and
weather forecast for selected city
-- Bookmark any wireless-enabled Internet site
-- Finance -- manage 401K Fidelity Investments accounts, get stock alerts
and trading from E*Trade, Fidelity Investments and DLJ Direct
-- mCommerce -- comparison shopping and on-line shopping
-- Personal Information Management Tools (PIM) -- Calendar with reminder
alerts, address book with one-touch dialing, compatible with MS Outlook
-- Entertainment -- horoscopes, lottery results and movie schedules
-- Travel -- flight schedule and status
-- eCustomer Care -- one-touch dial to customer care


As an introduction to Mobile Web, Verizon Wireless will waive the $6.95 fee for three months so customers can trial the service. To sign up for service, customers can visit a Verizon Wireless Communications Store or call 1-800-466-4646.

Beginning today, the service is available in the following major cities: Los Angeles; New York; Atlanta; Boston; Washington, DC; Baltimore; Philadelphia; Seattle; Phoenix; Pittsburgh; Charlotte; Cincinnati; Cleveland; Denver; Kansas City; Detroit; Hartford, CT; Omaha; Portland, Oregon; Sacramento; Salt Lake City; San Diego; Des Moines; Albuquerque and Tucson, AZ. Mobile Web will be available next week in Chicago; San Francisco; St. Louis; Houston; Honolulu; Indianapolis, Nashville and Knoxville, TN; Lexington, KY; Norfolk, VA; Raleigh, NC. Verizon Wireless will introduce the service in the remainder of its markets over the next few months.

The Next Phase of Mobile Web

The Yankee Group expects 48 million Web-enabled digital phone users worldwide by 2002 and climbing to 204 million users by 2005. Helping to fuel this growth, Verizon Wireless will add content and functionality to its Mobile Web service. These include location-based services, such as the delivery of coupons for a nearby retailer or restaurant directly to the customer`s handset, based on specified preferences and usage trends. Mobile Web will also serve as the platform for digital two-way SMS (short messaging service), which the company plans to launch by the end of 2000.

hier endlich der 2. teil des interviews mit ITradionet

Naveen Jain
Chairman & Founder Infospace.com


This is Marc Holland and welcome back to Part II of our one on one exclusive interview with Naveen Jain, the chief strategist, the CEO, the man, the myth behind Internet giant, Infospace. In part I, we explored the wireless Web and Infospace’s vision of how the wireless Web will change the way we buy, sell, communicate, research, learn, everything. In part II, we’re going to focus in on the man.

HOLLAND: All right, let’s shift over to some personal questions, if you don’t mind. You founded the company in 1996, not quite at the dawn of the Internet per se, but certainly your vision for supplying content to sites was well ahead of the curve. Where did the idea come from? I mean, it seems logical now, but not necessarily back then.

JAIN: Well, it was, in my opinion, very obvious. You go back and look at every revolution that we were talking about, and it was very obvious the companies that survive in the long term are the companies that are providing the shovels and the picks and the underlying infrastructure.

We knew in 1996 there was no such thing as a portal. There were search engines. We said, wait a second: the search engines have no business model. The better the search engine is, the sooner I leave.

That means these sites had to become what I called a mini-AOL. They had to have the services to keep the user there. Now, why would anybody want to build these services on their own every time? Why not have Infospace building these services and letting everybody brand them under their name? Our model was very simple. We will build a shop and we will let you call it your shop. Right?

HOLLAND: Right.

JAIN: This is exactly what Microsoft did. Microsoft built an operating system called MS-DOS and let people call it Bell DOS, PC DOS, or Compac DOS. And they started the de facto opportunity system for the PC. It was very simple.

Now If we were able to become the information operating system, this market will be 100 times bigger than the PC because there will be 100 times more people using the non-PC devices than the PC devices. And now if you think about it in the same way, in the PC world, the companies like Microsoft and Intel are able to create a close to a trillion dollar market cap.

If there is justice in this world, and you’re going to be using 100 times more, our market cap should be 100 times the trillion dollars.

HOLLAND: Do you consider yourself a technologist or a marketer?

JAIN: Well, personally I consider myself to be a person who understands technology reasonably well, with the engineering background and having worked as a programmer. At the same time, I think I have a very good sense of the business in terms of where the world is moving, and I have been very, very good in terms of identifying the next big trend.

So a year and half ago when everybody was going gaga over the etailers, I was the first person who came out and said most etailers will go out of business in the next 12-18 months.

Right? Today, it seems very obvious, but I presented that prediction at the Goldman Conference, and there was an $85 stock at that time, and although people say now that it’s obvious that it was going to be a $5 dollar stock, it wasn’t very obvious until a month ago.

HOLLAND: Right, right, right.

JAIN: So I think I’m very good at identifying the trend. So we essentially latched onto the off-line world, knowing that ultimately the brick and mortar supplier will use the Internet as yet another channe,l rather than the Internet being the replacement of their existing channel. Right?

We knew wireless would be hot 4 years ago, and that’s the reason we launched our first wireless service with AT&T in October of 1996.

HOLLAND: Got you.

JAIN: So we were very good at identifying the trend. Our company’s technology is great. I can tell you we spent 33% on technology. We had the best developers that had ever been born.

HOLLAND: So what skills make you an effective leader in the new economy?

JAIN: Well, in some sense, the most effective leaders are always the same. If you read the Washington Post articles, I talked to them about that. The most successful leaders tend to be very charismatic, a person who is, in some sense, like a cult leader. Because when you’re starting a company, you really have nothing but a belief, and you have to have people believe in you. It’s like starting a cult where people have to start believing in your vision, and how they can be part of changing the world. That means hire the people who are passionate. and by passion I mean, a passion for winning, not just a passion for an idea.

And if you can hire the people who are passionate to win, people who want to join the company because they want to change the world, not just make money, that’s how you become successful in life.

HOLLAND: So you’re saying that your people make you successful?

JAIN: Absolutely correct. I mean I am just a spokesperson, but really the work gets done by the people who are a whole lot smarter than I am.

HOLLAND: Uh huh.

JAIN: And we’ve got a lot of them, too.

HOLLAND: [laughing] And they’re rich, too, I’m sure.

JAIN: In some sense, to be honest with you, none of us started Infospace because we needed to make money; in all honesty, Bill was very nice to us. When we came in from Microsoft, our house was paid for, and life was very reasonably taken care of.

We started Infospace with the simple belief that we wanted to change the way people communicate. We wanted to change the world, change the way people conduct commerce. We wanted to change the way people manage their lives. That was the cause. That was our Jihad. How can we go do something, build something that will change the world, and how can we dominate the universe? Right.

HOLLAND: Right. Any tales you can relate regarding your quest for funding?

JAIN: Well, I mean, it’s really not much of a thing, because as I said, we really hated the venture capitalists. We didn’t want any venture capitalists to make money from our blood and sweat. We turned every employee into a venture capitalist.

I can tell you about one of the employees who still works for us, who started at Infospace when we couldn’t obviously pay him much money. We paid him less than $30,000. He had a car that he had to sell because he couldn’t afford the insurance. He walked to work. He had a baby. He used the stroller for grocery shopping for 2 1/2 years. And the payoff was he had a million times return on the investment!

HOLLAND: Right, right. And deserved it.

JAIN: And deserved it, too. And that’s actually what excites us the most, seeking the employees who put in their blood and sweat and make things happen, rather than the people who sit on the beach and tell you what to do.
HOLLAND: All right. Well, you addressed it earlier, the topic of profits. How important are profits in the new economy, over the concept of growth of the rush to build a strong Internet brand?

JAIN: Ultimately, if you cannot build a business that has a sustainable business model for the long term, you are in the wrong side. So we built a company which has in fact been profitable for the last four consecutive quarters. We were profitable in our first year of operation, right? To us, building a business had a simple value: build the things that people want to pay for, and make sure your cost is cheaper than your price. Right?

HOLLAND: Right.

JAIN: So in some sense, you have to build a business for simple profitability. The only thing I will add is you have to always look out for the long term. Do not build a business for the next quarter, the next year or next five years or next 10 years.

HOLLAND: Or the next fad.

JAIN: Always build a business that is going to last for the next century. Look back, how are you going to build industry? How are you going to create an industry rather than just build a company?

HOLLAND: Beautiful. Your greatest accomplishment?

JAIN: My greatest accomplishment is still be alive after working 20 hours a day for the last 4 years.

HOLLAND: [laughing] And your greatest failure?

JAIN: My greatest failure. God. Well, I guess is not having time to spend with my kids, with my family.

HOLLAND: And any keys that you can share with our listeners about learning from failures?

JAIN: Well, I mean, in some sense, you know, one of the lessons of failures is never be afraid, never, ever be afraid, to make a decision.

In our lives we can go back and tell you so many times we made mistakes. But it was okay because we then knew what would not work. And rather than spending 2 years trying, brainstorming, having consultants, trying focus groups, we just tried. When something didn’t work, we moved on to the next thing.

Never be afraid to make decisions, because making decisions is what makes you successful.

HOLLAND: It’s funny you should say that. General Patton once said that when faced with a situation, the best thing you can do is make the right decision, the next best thing you can do is make the wrong decision, and the worst thing you can do is make no decision at all.

JAIN: Exactly correct, and that’s what we believe in. Make the decision. Hopefully it’s going to be right, and as long as you’re more often right than wrong, you’re always on the right track.

HOLLAND: Naveen, it’s been an absolute pleasure speaking with you today.

JAIN: Thank you, Marc.

HOLLAND: We’ve been listening to Naveen Jain, Chairman, founder and chief strategist for Infospace.com. This is Marc Holland.

alter schwede, wenn ich sehe, was die amis grade mit CMTN machen, wird mir ja angst und bange wegen den INSP quartalszahlen. bei CMTN waren 22 cent erwartet, 24 war die whisper-number und die haben sie auch erreicht, umsätze von über 80mio, ein wachstum von über 30% zum vorQUARTAL und die schieben verkaufpanik!!! schicken die aktie mal so eben über 15% runter!
was erwarten die anleger eigentlich? ne gewinnver1000fachung? einen 10trillionen umsatz?
mann, das hat mich jetzt echt geschockt und mitgenommen, da kann man ja nur beten, daß INSP deutlich über den whispers liegt.

zugegeben, aber in dem maße ist es doch wirklich übertrieben, das ist ja fast eine hinrichtung! ich kanns nicht nachvollziehen, immerhin machen dieses jahr voraussichtlich 300 mio umsatz und ca 1$ gewinn pro aktie. und das bei dem explosiven wachstum. igendwie habe ich das gefühl, sobald unternehmen profitabel werden, wird ihnen weniger zugestanden. vielleicht, weil plötzlich alle mit KGV statt KUV rechnen und das ist dann natürlich höher, stichwort psychologie.
naja, will mit meinen bescheidenen gedanken zu CMTN und der ungerechten anlegerwelt eigentlich nicht diesen thread füllen, also solls das jetzt auch gewesen sein, mittelfristig gibts eh wieder höhere kurse.

Infospace kaufen
Global Net Investing


Für die Experten vom Börsenbrief Global Net Investing hat die Aktie der Infospace
Inc. (WKN 917694) ein enormes Kurspotential.

Das Unternehmen sei Marktführer im Bereich der drahtlosen Internet-Infrastruktur.
Jüngst abgeschlossene Kooperationen mit AT&T, Verizon Wirelesss und
VoiceStream Wireless würden dies eindrucksvoll unterstreichen.

Infospace arbeite mit einer unglaublichen Bruttogewinnspanne von über 80%, was
Analysten zufolge in den nächsten Jahre gehalten und sogar bis auf 86%
ausgebaut werden könne.

Schätzungen zufolge werde der Umsatz von 37 Millionen USD in 1999 auf fast 1
Milliarde USD in 2005 ansteigen. Dieses Jahr solle sich der Bruttogewinn von 32
Mio. auf 64 Mio. USD verdoppeln. Bis 2005 werde der Bruttogewinn auf 822
Millionen USD explodieren.

Der Titel sei damit ein typisches Beispiel für einen Internetwert, bei dem das
dynamische nicht nur auf Umsatz- sondern auch auf Ertragsebene stattfinde.

Auf jeden Fall ein paar Aktien ins Depot legen, Gewinnerwartung auf Sicht bis
Jahresende betrage glatte 100%, so die Analysteneinschätzung.

Company Press Release

InfoSpace Enhances Mobile Commerce Service By
Allowing Consumers To Request Bids and Prices From
Online and Offline Merchants Through Agreement
with netgenShopper.com

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2000--

This enhanced mobile commerce capability will be offered to

InfoSpace`s partners that include leading wireless carriers

worldwide, merchant partners and leading Web sites to facilitate

the adoption and use by consumers worldwide to turn

every device into a transaction device

InfoSpace (NASDAQ:INSP - news), a leading Internet infrastructure company, and netgenShopper.com, a reverse auction
service, today announced a strategic alliance in which InfoSpace will integrate netgenShopper.com`s infrastructure technology,
enabling consumers to request bids and prices from online and offline merchants.

This technology will allow buyers to easily and efficiently gather information and compare pricing on products and services,
while driving targeted sales leads to merchants affiliated with InfoSpace`s vast partner network. Buyers submit a single request
for a product or service, and in return receive custom offers from numerous interested merchants.

This service provides sellers access to a previously untapped stream of interested, ready-to-buy customers.

The integration of this commerce technology with InfoSpace`s platform for data and transaction services that are used by
leading wireless carriers, more than 400,000 merchants and more than 3,000 leading Web sites, will enable a new breed of
commerce services that will facilitate and drive mobile transactions between buyers and sellers.

With this partnership, netgenshopper.com`s technology will be offered to InfoSpace`s infrastructure partners with a reach of
more than 90% of all Internet users enabling netgenshopper.com to quickly become a leading technology provider in this space.

``The key to enabling mobile commerce is to deliver integrated, actionable and personalized information to wireless devices that
drives consumers to traditional brick and mortar retailers and service companies and facilitating that transaction between the
merchant and the consumer,`` said Naveen Jain, chairman and chief strategist of InfoSpace. ``Integrating netgenShopper.com`s
technology into the InfoSpace platform is a natural fit for us as we continue to bring merchants and consumers together
wherever they may be looking for a product or a service and makes it easy for consumers to purchase these goods or services
from any device.``

According to Forrester Research/Kelsey Group, eight out of 10 buyers first perform research on the Web and then buy
products or services within a 10-mile radius of their home.

netgenShopper.com`s reverse auction service directly addresses this trend by matching buyers to local merchants and driving
new customers to local businesses that are often overlooked in the traditional e-commerce marketplace.

netgenShopper.com`s technology will be offered everywhere online that consumers shop and merchants list their businesses,
through InfoSpace`s extensive affiliate network. As an integrated part of InfoSpace`s commerce and merchant service offerings,
it will be part of a combined offering that InfoSpace provides to its merchant partners, including all five regional bell operating
companies (RBOC`s), merchant acquiring banks and local media networks.

``No other competitor can offer their merchants access to such an extensive network of leading Web sites and wireless
carriers. netgenShopper.com is transcending the traditional reverse auction service with its extensive buyer and seller network,
and a focus on matching shoppers with local merchants,`` comments Mike Kohonoski, President of netgenShopper.com.

About netgenShopper.com

netgenShopper.com is a reverse auction service, linking interested buyers to qualified merchants, and creating the largest
buyer/seller matching network in the nation. The company was founded in 1999 in Fairfax, Virginia. The service enables local

Cellphones ushering in wireless Internet era

By Michelle V. Rafter

LOS ANGELES, July 19 (Reuters) - If you think lots of people use cell phones now, just wait.


A few years into the future, wearing a cell phone will be as common as wearing a watch, thanks in large part to a mess of Internet-based services being cooked up for consumer consumption.

That is the consensus of leaders in the cell phone and Internet business who discussed the prospects of an unwired world of interactive communication at the recent Internet Summit conference in Dana Point, Calif., sponsored by The Industry Standard (http://www.thestandard.com), the Internet business magazine. (Disclaimer: In addition to writing this column, I am a contributing writer for the Standard.).

Today, fewer Americans use cell phones than people in Japan or European countries such as Finland, where an estimated 90 percent of teenagers carry the devices.

The discrepancy will change over time, the experts said, as U.S. telecommunications companies upgrade to more powerful digital wireless systems that can transmit data over cell phones at up to 2 megabits per second, and as companies hammer out standards for how Internet-based information will be carried.

By some analysts` estimates, more than 400 million cell phones are in use somewhere on the planet today, a number that is rising between 30 percent and 40 percent a year, said Bill Gurley, general partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Benchmark Capital (http://www.benchmark.com), speaking at the conference. At that rate, cell phones are the front-runners to become the way people will connect to a wireless Internet, he said.

Hand-held devices such as the Palm from Palm Inc., though not as abundant as cell phones, will also continue to be used for more wireless applications, Gurley and others said.


``We like to think of ourselves as a wireless solutions company, not a device company,`` said Carl Yankowski, chief executive of Santa Clara, Calif.-based Palm, speaking at the meeting.

The collection of Internet-based services available in the United States for specially equipped cell phones and hand-held devices is growing, with deals between cell phone carriers and Internet companies announced almost daily. Recently, America Online beat out Yahoo in a contest to land a top listing on Sprint PCS Web-enabled cell phones.

But U.S. wireless Internet offerings still are crude compared with what`s out there in other parts of the world, and what`s to come at home, according to experts speaking at the conference.


In Japan, for example, a million customers of one cell phone company download a different cartoon character every day to display on their phone screens, at 9 cents a pop, Burley said. Both Japan and Europe are ahead of the United States in upgrading to digital-based cellular networks capable of carrying more Internet data per second.

Cell phones of the future won`t look like today`s models. They`ll have larger screens and Web browsers built into them, said Arun Sarin, chief executive of InfoSpace, a Bellevue, Wash., provider of e-mail, calendars and other applications sold to wireless carriers for their customers.

``They`ll also be very personal, a wearable device,`` Sarin said. ``In Japan and Korea, people wear their cell phones like (convention goers) wear badges,`` on a cord around their necks.

In the future, Americans will use their cell phones not just to read e-mail, check stocks and look up weather reports, but to play games, listen to music and even watch movies, he predicted.

The trickle of services that let people pick up information off the Web by speaking commands into their cell phones rather than typing them in is turning into a flood. One start-up, Tellme Networks (http://www.tellme.com), in Mountain View, Calif., used the Internet Summit to demonstrate an Internet-based 800-number service that lets people speak commands into their cell phones to search for a restaurant or get live news reports, among other things. Since launching a preview version in April, Tellme has received 1.5 million calls, and expects to make the service available to all by the end of July.

``We have 80-year-old grandmothers who are totally addicted to it,`` said Mike McCue, Tellme`s co-founder and chief executive. ``Consumers have no idea it`s the Internet and we never tell them. It`s just a cool service.``

Such innovations aside, current wireless Internet services are where the wired Internet was five years ago, and it`s not clear whether established players such as AOL and Sprint, or start-ups such as TellMe will be the big winners, the experts said.

And it`s still hard to imagine all of the kinds of services that will be created for a wireless Internet, they said.

``People don`t have the capacity to envision what will be,`` Palm`s Yankowski said. ``So we just have to get it out there.``

InfoSpace Joins China Unicom and R.H. Donnelley in Unicom Media Directory Business

InfoSpace Invests in Chinese Internet and Printed Yellow Pages to Tap Into Local Commerce Market in China

BELLEVUE, Wash., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSpace (Nasdaq: INSP), a leading global provider of information and commerce infrastructure services for wireless devices, merchants and Web sites, and Unicom Media, Ltd. announced today that InfoSpace has purchased an interest in Unicom Media. Unicom Media`s business includes ChinaBiG.com and ChinaBiG.com.cn, Chinese electronic yellow pages and full service web advertising sites, ChinaBig printed yellow pages in Peoples Republic of China, and wireless Chinese business directories.

"InfoSpace continues to expand globally, and Asia is a key target market for us," said Naveen Jain, chairman of InfoSpace.

Infospace (INSP) AT&T Wireless Deal With AOL (Henry Blodget/Sofia Ghachem)

• AT&T Wireless announced today that AOL would receive premium placement on the AT&T Pocketnet data phone. We believe this is neutral for INSP. AOL’s prescence on AT&T should make the overall package more attractive to consumers which is a net positive for INSP in the near-term. Recall that the key drivers of INSP stock are subscriber growth counts and European/Asian contract announcements. According to AOL, AOL placement is on the second page marked ’Portals’for the AOL wireless portal in the basic, plus and premium AT&T Pocketnet offerings. AOL email is on the page marked ’Other email’in the plus and premium packages. And AOL Moviefone is on the page marked ’Find It’in the plus and premium packages.
• AOL will offer access to Moviefone and Digital Cities. This has the potential to cut into INSP’s transaction upside. However, we
would note the following. First, transaction upside is not in our estimates for the next two years. And second, Digital Cities sites are not yet WAP-enabled and it is unclear how they will be integrated into the AT&T offering from a transaction processing perspective. INSP’s merchant sites (the comparable to Digital Cities) are WAP-enabled and fully integrated into a transaction processing engine. Moviefone is not WAP-enabled, according to AOL, but consumers are able to access it and transact.
• Longer-term, we have some concerns about INSP’s pricing power and believe the $1 per subscriber per month is likely to come down as subscriber counts gain scale. We re-iterate our Buy rating.

China Unicom in deal with Motorola to expand network


China Unicom, a wing of the nation`s second-largest telephone company, China United Telecommunications, said today it will pay Motorola $190 million to expand its cellular networks in three provinces.
The expansion contracts will allow China Unicom to add some 2.3 million customers to its subscriber base, which stood at 4.2 million at the end of 1999. China represents one-sixth of the world`s population and has the world`s largest wireless communications network.

The companies are also in negotiations to set up seven new GSM network (Global System for Mobile Communications) stations in other regions, which could increase the subscriber base by as much as 5 million.

"There is pent up demand in China for cellular service," Motorola spokesman Joe Arimond said. "China Unicom is one of the big providers there and we`re giving them the equipment they need to address this growing demand for cellular."

China Unicom operates Motorola GSM networks in Shandong, Jiangsu and Hunan, three major provinces in China with a combined population of some 200 million.

China Unicom launched an initial public offering on June 21, raising $4.9 billion in the nation`s largest IPO outside of Asia. Shares have risen 27 percent since its IPO.

Shares of Motorola traded down 38 cents at $37.13 in late afternoon trading.

InfoSpace Leads Next Wireless Trend

Several leading analysts who follow wireless industry trends see major upside potential for InfoSpace Inc.’s {INSP} stock over the coming year, saying the company is emerging as a leading enabler of mobile, wireless-Internet applications.

"With wireless subscribers expected to exceed 1 billion worldwide by 2003, the convergence of wireless with the Internet has created extraordinary opportunities for wireless Internet infrastructure providers, such as INSP," wrote Prabhas Panigrahi, an analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in New York, in a short research note published earlier this month.

Panigrahi, who has a reputation for producing unusually detailed and persuasive research, plans to publish a more-comprehensive report supporting the stock later this month.

In the meantime, the analyst has initiated coverage of InfoSpace with a "buy" rating, his firm’s highest recommendation, and an estimated 12-month fair equity valuation, or price target, of $70 a share.

InfoSpace’s post-initial public offering stock chart has the typical dot-com
roller-coaster look and feel. One reason may be the fact that the company was first established as InfoSpace.com Inc. and only recently decided to drop the dot-com label in recognition of its move toward serving evolving
wireless-application markets.




But analysts say they like the synergy between the old InfoSpace.com and the newer, more wireless-oriented operation.

The company’s original mission involved providing unbranded directory, shopping and other content resources to leading Web sites such as America Online Inc. {AOL}, Lycos Inc. {LCOS}, Microsoft Corp.`s {MSFT} The Microsoft Network (MSN) and AOL’s Netscape, among many others.

More recently, the Bellevue, Wash.-based firm has capitalized on that role by providing the software infrastructure and expertise needed to build easy-to-use wireless applications designed for the next generation of wireless
Internet-access devices, such as cell phones and personal digital assistants.

What gets analysts excited are the deals InfoSpace has inked to build wireless applications, not only with many of the Web sites it already has relationships with, but also with leading wireless carriers such as AT&T Wireless Group {AWE}, SBC Communications Inc. {SBC} and Verizon Communications {VZ} (formerly Bell Atlantic). Taken together, the carriers InfoSpace works with control about 80 percent of the wireless subscriber market in the United States.

On the Web-site side, a recent industry survey shows that 3,000 of the world’s most-popular Web sites, which account for 90 percent of Internet traffic worldwide, are already using InfoSpace’s unbranded content and platform as part of their own online offerings, according to Dresdner Kleinwort Benson.

Meanwhile, InfoSpace’s merchant customer base, the number of people who have made purchases through its affiliated online network, topped 400,000 by the end of the first quarter.

On June 28, Merrill Lynch analyst Henry Blodget reiterated his "buy" recommendation on the stock, saying he expects to see excitement about the evolving wireless Internet accelerate during the second half of this year.

"We continue to believe InfoSpace is the best-positioned company to provide the ‘operating system’ for the Mobile Internet," Blodget wrote in a report.

The analysts liken InfoSpace’s prospects to those of Aether Systems Inc. {AETH}, which concentrates primarily on building wireless Internet applications for the financial services industry. Although Aether’s stock has fallen off its highs, it is still up quite substantially from its October 1999 IPO price of $16 a share.


"Aether is by far the premier wireless application service provider," Panigrahi says. "They started out with the finance industry and are now moving on to other verticals, such as supply-chain management and health care."

But Panigrahi adds that Aether’s big run-up leaves InfoSpace the more attractively priced stock right now.

Matt Finick, an analyst at Thomas Weisel Partners, in San Francisco, also has a "buy" rating on the stock, his firm’s second-highest recommendation. He says his confidence in the company is based on several factors, including what he says is an excellent management team and market positioning.

Finick says he suspects one reason the stock hasn`t rebounded as sharply as Aether’s over the past few weeks is related to the fact that many investors are apparently not yet aware of the successful transition the company is making from its now abandoned exclusive reliance on serving desktop Internet markets.

"Some people are worried over a slowdown in dot-com advertising and exposure in the desktop business," Finick says. "That’s creating a good buying opportunity."

Finick says the stock would carry his firm’s highest rating -- a "strong buy" -- were it not for overall market risk associated with the wireless sector.

"Valuations are still pretty high on the wireless infrastructure stocks," Finick adds. "A lot of people are waiting, looking to see more subscriber sign-up data, waiting for the numbers to come in. We’re going to need more [wireless] applications with real utility that add real value before we see the major inflection point. I think we’ll be seeing that inflection point, as part of the natural evolution with respect to the adaptation of these services. Long term, InfoSpace is a great company. Based on that, I think you buy."

Finick, like the other analysts backing the stock, say InfoSpace’s strength is a function of its well-established user base and its ability to provide clients with proven, popular content. He says the combination of the two allows the firm to use its knowledge and resources to build private-label branded site-specific wireless applications more quickly than most would-be competitors. The idea is that lessons InfoSpace learns from "mobilizing" one Web site can often be applied to other Web sites facing similar issues.

"The biggest asset InfoSpace has is having consolidated all this content and having the experience working with major carriers, such as AT&T Corp. {T}, to bring it to mobile platforms," agrees Tole Hart, a senior analyst at Dataquest, based in Stanford, Calif. "The content relationships they already have make it far easier for them to bring on key wireless carriers [as customers].

Charul Vyas, a research analyst with International Data Corp., based in Austin, Texas, notes that dozens of other companies, ranging from smaller firms such as privately held Anydevice.com Inc., which is based in Atlanta, to larger firms such as Oracle Corp. {ORCL}, are all hoping to crack the emerging
wireless-application enabling market.

"I’m not going to say that InfoSpace is the only company who can do this," Vyas says. "But InfoSpace does have a bigger sandbox in terms of the clients they work with, and they can leverage that."

Analysts expect to see the company post losses of 6 cents a share, according to First Call Corp.’s consensus estimate, when the company releases its second-quarter earnings next Wednesday at 4:15 p.m. EDT.

The firm beat First Call’s consensus earnings estimate for the first quarter quarter by 7 cents.

BUY! BUY! BUY!

InfoSpace.com
InfoSpace.com, located in Redmond, Washington, supplies online content to more than 100 customers, including America Online and Microsoft. The company is best known for its national Yellow Pages and White Pages directories.

InfoSpace.com is a rare breed. It is a profitable Internet company. It has posted positive net income four quarters in a row.

Last quarter, InfoSpace.com beat estimates by seven cents, posting net income of $0.01 per share. Revenue soared 261% and operating costs rose only 64%. I was the only analyst on The Street that predicted InfoSpace.com would have a profitable quarter.

Nothing has changed. Not one analyst thinks InfoSpace.com is going to post a profit this quarter. The range is from a loss of $0.05 per share to a loss of $0.07 per share. But these analysts have been wrong for six straight quarters. Plus not one of the analysts expected InfoSpace.com to post a profit last quarter, and it did.

When will sell-side analysts ever learn? Probably not in my lifetime. InfoSpace.com is still a powerhouse in content delivery and nothing has changed much from last quarter. Look for InfoSpace.com to beat estimates, and for all the analysts to be hiding in doghouses after it does.

InfoSpace To Launch New Universal E-Mail Service
That Aggregates E-Mail Accounts Such As Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail,
HotMail And Any Corporate POP3 Account In One Place On Cellular
Phones And Other Devices

New Service Enabling Anytime Anywhere Access to All E-Mail Accounts Will Be Integrated Into
InfoSpace`s Comprehensive Wireless Internet Platform of Data and Transaction Services That
Provide the Solution for Leading Carriers Such as Verizon and AT&T

BELLEVUE, Wash., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSpace, Inc. (Nasdaq: INSP - news), a leading provider of infrastructure
services for wireless devices, merchants and Web sites, today announced it will launch a new product that will enable users to
consolidate, access and manage e-mail accounts from providers such as Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, Microsoft HotMail and any
corporate POP3 e-mail account using one universal ID and password. The new service will not only give mobile device users
the freedom to communicate and be productive anytime anywhere with a single click of a button, but will also allow them to
access and manage multiple business and personal e-mail accounts in one place at one time. This service will be integrated into

``We`ve found that users usually have more than one e-mail account from different providers such as Hotmail for personal
accounts and corporate e-mail for business related communications,`` said Naveen Jain, chairman, InfoSpace. ``We will enable
those users to access e-mail from multiple providers in one single place on their mobile devices eliminating the need to access
their e-mail providers directly at all.``

``Today`s wireless carriers are desperately looking for ways to roll out mobile Internet services without reducing themselves to
a pipe connecting their subscribers to e-mail and information services offered under another company`s brand,`` said Arun
Sarin, CEO, InfoSpace. ``The InfoSpace platform not only offers breakthrough technology that enables users to access POP3
corporate e-mail account as well as popular Web-based e-mail services such as Yahoo! Mail and HotMail in one place, but it
enables carriers to offer this service under their own name, increasing subscriber loyalty and building their brand.``

InfoSpace Rounds Up Far-Flung E-mail, Financial Services


InfoSpace Inc., a company whose information services backstop many Web portals and wireless carriers, says it will offer mobile Internet users one-stop access to multiple e-mail accounts and to online personal financial information.

The new services, which the company sells to wireless carriers and vendors of mobile devices, rather than to consumers directly, can consolidate information that might usually take time-strapped mobile workers a number of online stops, InfoSpace spokeswoman Joni Hanson told Newsbytes.

The company`s financial services offering aggregates account information from multiple institutions - such as bank accounts, bills, credit cards, investments and loans.

The electronic mail-taming technology manages e-mail accounts from any number of POP3 services - such as a mobile worker`s corporate office - and from Web-based providers like Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail, and Microsoft`s HotMail.

Hanson said subscribers would initiate the services by creating customer profiles detailing financial or e-mail accounts and access information. Afterwards, the consolidated information would be available to users with a single log-in to the InfoSpace service.

Arun Sarin, chief executive officer of InfoSpace, said the new services will allow its customers to maintain a higher profile even as their subscribers interact with third parties like the financial institutions and e-mail providers.

"Today`s wireless carriers are desperately looking for ways to roll out mobile Internet services without reducing themselves to a pipe connecting their subscribers to e-mail and information services offered under another company`s brand," Sarin said.

Hanson said the basic functionality of the account-aggregation services doesn`t require partnerships with the financial institutions or e-mail providers to make it work.

However, she said the company is working to expand its relationships with such players so that its system can become better integrated and so offer enhanced services.

InfoSpace is scheduled to announce earnings for its most-recent quarter Wednesday.

Infospace to grab Go2Net
--4:59 pm - By August Cole
SEATTLE (CBS.MW) -- Infospace reported a second-quarter loss that surpassed Wall Street expectations and announced it will acquire Seattle-based content and commerce giant Go2Net. Infospace said it will issue 1.82 shares for each share of Seattle-based Go2net (GNET: news, msgs), the companies said. On the earnings front, Infospace (INSP: news, msgs) reported a loss of 1 cents a share vs. a loss of 2 cents in the year-ago quarter.

InfoSpace announced revenues soared to $24.6 million due to strong growth in its wireless, merchant and consumer areas with wireless revenues growing more than 100%. This is a 252% increase from revenues of $6.98 million in the comparable quarter of 1999. Pro forma net loss for the quarter was $3.3 million or a loss of ($0.01) per share compared to a pro forma net loss of ($0.02) per share for the same period last year.

This transaction brings together two infrastructure leaders whose services enable their partners to create a unified experience for consumers to conduct commerce, access information, communicate and manage their lives across all platforms and provides the applications and technologies to take merchants through the entire lifecycle of commerce on any device.

``Today marks another historic milestone in the history of the rapid evolution of InfoSpace,`` said Arun Sarin, CEO, InfoSpace. ``InfoSpace turns in another record quarter of rapid growth and announces the merging of two powerful entities to create the premier global company delivering the services that are fundamentally changing how people around the world communicate, access information, conduct commerce and manage their lives across rapidly converging media platforms such as wireless, DSL and broadband.``

Wireless Services

Wireless continues to be the biggest opportunity and fastest growing area for InfoSpace. Today, there are more than 400 million wireless subscribers worldwide and that number is projected to grow 30-40% each year. Nokia and Ericsson have both projected that there will be one billion cellular phones worldwide by 2003. Jupiter predicts that by the same year, more people will access the Internet on wireless devices than on PCs.

InfoSpace continues to be the platform of choice for more than 20 wireless carriers worldwide. In the United States, InfoSpace has access to 88% of wireless subscribers today through its relationships that include 4 of the top 5 carriers: Verizon, AT&T, SBC and ALLTEL.

Most recently, InfoSpace announced that SBC, the second largest carrier in the U.S. with more than 17 million subscribers, selected its platform for the national roll-out of its mobile Internet services. SBC Wireless` new mobile Internet services will be widely available to customers in the fourth quarter of this year, and will be available across six SBC Wireless brands: Southwestern Bell Wireless, Ameritech Cellular, Pacific Bell Wireless, Nevada Bell Wireless, Cellular One and SNET.

In June, InfoSpace signed and launched ALLTEL Wireless, one of the top 5 carriers in the U.S. with close to 6 million subscribers, providing the solution for ALLTEL`s national wireless Internet initiative. Wireless users will receive tightly integrated services such as m-commerce, or wireless shopping, location-based services, personal information manager (PIM) applications such as address book and calendar and communication services such as messaging directly on their cellular phones.

In May, InfoSpace signed and launched VoiceStream Wireless to its more than 2.29 million subscribers. InfoSpace is providing the solution for VoiceStream`s wireless Internet services and their `personal portal` called MyVoiceStream.com. Using InfoSpace`s unique wireless Internet platform, the portal is customized to VoiceStream`s needs and allows their customers to choose personalized, specific information and be able to conduct commerce all from their wireless phone. The branding of MyVoiceStream.com is controlled completely by VoiceStream.

InfoSpace is also experiencing rapid adoption of its mobile commerce solution. Most recently, InfoSpace announced that AT&T Wireless will be the first to launch its mobile commerce solution enabling subscribers to electronically receive promotions from online and offline merchants on their cellular phones that can be used online or offline at a physical store. AT&T, in conjunction with InfoSpace, is leading the way in the world of mobile commerce by being the first to provide their users with unique and valuable new commerce services such as promotions, while helping facilitate transactions that will result in new commerce revenue streams.

InfoSpace continues to aggressively expand its footprint in Europe, Asia and South America. In May, the Company announced its entry into the Latin American market with access today to all Brazilian carriers representing more than 16 million wireless subscribers. Through an agreement with Telesystem International Wireless (TIW), InfoSpace`s platform of integrated wireless Internet services will be exclusively offered to all Brazilian cellular operators and Internet Service Providers enabling them to deliver comprehensive and personalized wireless Internet services to their subscribers on their mobile devices.

To date, InfoSpace has successfully deployed the platform of services for nine carriers including:

Verizon
AT&T
ALLTEL
VoiceStream
AirTouch
GTE
Austrian carrier ONE
Vodafone Australia
QWest (formerly US West)
InfoSpace continues to innovate and develop new products and services as part of its integrated platform. Most recently, InfoSpace announced its plans to launch two new services that will make it easy for subscribers to manage their personal accounts from any device including the ability to consolidate, access and manage e-mail accounts from providers such as Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, Microsoft Hotmail and any corporate POP3 e-mail account using one universal ID and password. The new service will not only give mobile device users the freedom to communicate and be productive anytime anywhere with a single click of a button, but will also allow them to access and manage multiple business and personal e-mail accounts in one place at one time.

In addition, InfoSpace announced its plans to launch a new mobile banking service to enable the management of multiple financial accounts from one place on cellular phones and PDA`s. From any device, users will have access to a consolidated view of all their personal financial information from multiple institutions -- such as bank accounts, bills, credit cards, investments and loans -- in one place, using one secure ID and password.

These new services will be integrated into InfoSpace`s comprehensive wireless Internet platform that offers tightly integrated suite of services across any device, any platform and any standard. These services include:

Commerce services such as making an instant purchase with a single click, the electronic delivery of promotions that can be used online or offline and the ability to search for products using standards-based codes, including bar codes.
Communication services such as device-independent e-mail and instant messaging.
Productivity applications such as address book, calendar and `to do` lists.
Personal account management such as e-mail and account aggregation.
Transaction services such as transferring funds from one account to another.
Location-based services such as finding the nearest ATM or restaurant.
Information services such as business finder, movie listings, directories, stock quotes.
Real-time alerts such as traffic reports, auction bids and stock alerts.
Security services such as personal authentication for secure transactions.
InfoSpace`s platform offers innovative and unique services that are helping to turn every mobile device into a true transaction device. This includes the ability to make instant purchases with a single click from virtually any Web site. This patent-pending server-based technology automatically fills in Web site payment forms, eliminating the need to enter in payment or shipping information, register at sites or enter any site- specific passwords from the device.

InfoSpace also enables mobile users to find and receive promotions on wireless devices from retailers and service-based merchants, such as dry cleaners and restaurants, that can be used online and offline. To take advantage of the promotion, the user can purchase the goods online, through a catalog, go to the retail store or simply utilize the service. Using this technology, promotions are seamlessly matched and automatically credited to the user`s credit card statement through secure back-end transaction processing.

InfoSpace also offers a new mobile commerce service that allows wireless shoppers or the traditional store shopper to enter anything that is known about an item- such as model number, part number, barcode, international standard book number (ISBN), product name or even scan in a UPC code -- to uniquely and most accurately locate a product, comparison shop and purchase ``when they want, where they want and how they want`` with a single click via cellular phones, land-line telephones, CE or palm devices, two-way pagers and standard browsers.

InfoSpace has also announced that OmniSky has selected its platform to launch next generation mobile services for PDAs. Palm Pilot users who purchase a wireless modem and service from OmniSky will now have the ability to access a wide range of new services that will change the way they shop, communicate, access information and otherwise manage their lives.

Merchant Services

InfoSpace continues to make significant progress in executing its strategy to provide the most integrated and comprehensive merchant platform that is merging the online and offline world of commerce and creating the largest network connecting merchants and consumers.

The local commerce opportunity is huge. According to the Kelsey Group, $3.7 trillion is transacted through the 10 million local merchants in the United States alone. These merchants spend at least $200 billion annually on promotions and Web-related activities.

InfoSpace`s merchant network is built through partnerships with all of the regional bell operating companies (RBOCs) that are subsidiaries of Qwest, BellSouth, SBC and Verizon, merchant banks such as American Express and Bank of America and other local media networks such as newspapers, television stations and radio stations.

InfoSpace`s national and local merchant network now consists of more than 600,000 local and national merchants, up more than 50% from the 400,000 merchants reported last quarter.

InfoSpace`s merchant services enable local merchants to reach consumers wherever they may be whether that shopping on mobile devices, at home on their PC or soon, in front of their television. InfoSpace offers several unique services, such as the delivery of electronic promotions that can be used online or offline in a physical store, making an instant purchase with a single click and the ability to buy multiple products from multiple merchants with a single universal shopping cart.

Using InfoSpace`s services, local merchants are able to promote their products and services across InfoSpace`s extensive affiliate network of more than 3,100 Web sites including AOL and MSN, and more than 20 wireless carrier partners including Verizon Wireless and AT&T Wireless creating the broadest reach to consumers available today.

Consumer Services

Momentum continues to be strong for InfoSpace`s consumer services. During the quarter, the Company announced several new and expanded agreements.

InfoSpace announced its first entry into the Chinese market through an agreement with Unicom Media, a division of China Unicom, one of China`s largest telecommunications companies, to provide the full platform of infrastructure services that is the solution for their Internet initiatives throughout China.

With the addition of new partners such as Unicom Media, InfoSpace`s affiliate network has grown from 3,000 to 3,100 portals and affinity Web sites, including 4 of the top 5 most trafficked sites on the Internet.

In addition, InfoSpace continues to expand key agreements with partners, such as Lycos for their classifieds solution and Disney`s GO Network for their commerce services, becoming an increasingly integral part of these portals business.

InfoSpace`s extensive affiliate network gives it an unduplicated reach of more than 92% of all Internet users and a duplicated reach of more than 400% on PC`s. The duplicated reach number represents that on average, more than 92% of all Internet users visit approximately four sites in the InfoSpace affiliate network.

the fourth quarter, it will issue 1.82 of its own shares for
each Go2Net share. As of July 17, when it reported
third-quarter earnings, Go2Net had 46.2 million shares

the Nasdaq, where it fell 1-9/16. InfoSpace stock rose 1-7/16
to 47-3/4 on the Nasdaq.
Separately, InfoSpace reported a far-narrower-than-expected
pro forma loss of $3.3 million, or a penny a share, compared
with a year-ago pro forma loss of $4.30 million, or 2 cents a
share. Sales more than tripled to $24.6 million from $6.98
million.
On that basis, Wall Street had expected the company to lose
6 cents a share in the quarter, according to consensus analyst
estimates compiled by First Call/Thomson Financial, which
tracks such forecasts.

ja wenn man das nur gestern schon gewußt hätte dann wär man heut viel glücklicher ins bettchen gegangen......
