UKNM: AOL buys Netscape

[Leslie Bunder]

So AOL buys Netscape in $4.2 billion deal.  Any thoughts/implications of

the deal in a UK context?


Who benefits most from the deal.  Implications for Netscape and its

software being used in set-top boxes and Net TV type projects.  Are

there any?


Anyway, over to you!


Leslie (spent the best part of an hour on the phone for the Netscape/AOL

teleconference and wasn't able to ask a question as they ran out of

time!)
