    Dear Fellow Stockholder: Our fiscal year 2003 has seen the completion of an eighteen-month period of restructuring, and the focus of management’s efforts on expansion of select core businesses. CMGI has made great strides in building its long- term liquidity and improving its operating results. The focus of management’s attention continues to be on building the global supply chain management business and expanding the literature fulfillment business in the United States, both of which are operated by CMGI’s wholly owned subsidiary, SalesLink, and realizing value and liquidity from the venture capital portfolio of our venture capital affiliate, @Ventures. The restructuring of CMGI into a more focused operating company was achieved in several steps during the year: • Non-core or under performing businesses were divested. This included CMGI’s divestitures of its interests in Engage, Inc., NaviSite, Inc., Equilibrium Technologies, Inc., Signatures SNI, Inc., Tallan, Inc. and Yesmail, Inc. • uBid, Inc. sold its assets to a global leader in sourcing, selling and financing of consumer goods. • AltaVista Company, operating in the rapidly consolidating internet search industry, sold its assets to Overture Services, Inc., which was acquired by Yahoo! Inc. shortly thereafter. The divestiture of these businesses has allowed CMGI to focus its management resources on its global supply chain management and fulfillment businesses. CMGI ended fiscal year 2003 with $276 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations in fiscal 2003 improved markedly from fiscal 2002. The cash balances available at year end permit CMGI to strive toward accomplishing three objectives: maintaining a liquidity reserve to protect the long-term future of the company, investing in expansion of its supply chain management and fulfillment businesses, and making selective acquisitions, either of new accounts or of companies, to expand these businesses.

  • Growth of the Internet
    Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] Preliminary version, July 6, 2001 Abstract The Internet is the main cause of the recent explosion of activity in optical fiber telecommunica- tions. The high growth rates observed on the Internet, and the popular perception that growth rates were even higher, led to an upsurge in research, development, and investment in telecommunications. The telecom crash of 2000 occurred when investors realized that transmission capacity in place and under construction greatly exceeded actual traffic demand. This chapter discusses the growth of the Internet and compares it with that of other communication services. Internet traffic is growing, approximately doubling each year. There are reasonable arguments that it will continue to grow at this rate for the rest of this decade. If this happens, then in a few years, we may have a rough balance between supply and demand. Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] 1. Introduction Optical fiber communications was initially developed for the voice phone system. The feverish level of activity that we have experienced since the late 1990s, though, was caused primarily by the rapidly rising demand for Internet connectivity. The Internet has been growing at unprecedented rates. Moreover, because it is versatile and penetrates deeply into the economy, it is affecting all of society, and therefore has attracted inordinate amounts of public attention. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of knowledge about the growth rates of the Internet, with special attention paid to the implications for fiber optic transmission.

    Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld 59 Steve Jobs’ Immortal Quest and the Heroic Persona Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld Yale University October 2011 was a month of historic milestones for Apple. At the end of the prior month, on Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent media invitations for a press event to be held October 4, 2011 at 10:00 am at the Cupertino Headquarters for a major announcement. Several prominent industry analysts proclaimed with hopeful optimism that the firm would announce the return of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Sadly, Steve Jobs did not appear for what turned out to be a product announcement of the iPhone 4S. In fact, Jobs had stepped down as CEO on January 17, 2011, a year and a half after returning from medical leave. He stated that Tim Cook, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, would run day-to-day operations as he had previously done during Jobs’ 2009 medical leave. The analysts’ wishful thinking had some basis in more than cult like denial of Steve Jobs’ mortality. In fact, despite that medical leave, Jobs had returned for the iPad 2 launch on March 2 and the iCloud introduction on June 6. The analysts were among many constituents around the world who were to be tragically disappointed. Jobs actually had resigned as CEO on August 22, 2011 saying, “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come” (Isaacson, 2011). Six weeks later, a day after the new iPhone press conference, he died (Isaacson, 2011).

  • How Much Are Your Eyeballs Worth? Placing a Value on a Website's Customers May Be the Best Way to Judge a Net Stock
    How Much Are Your Eyeballs Worth? Placing a value on a Website's customers may be the best way to judge a Net stock. It's not perfect, but on the Net, what is? By Erick Schonfeld February 21, 2000 (FORTUNE Magazine) – Internet CEOs crave many things: world domination, instant service in bistros, fawning media attention. But what they crave above all else is eyeballs. That's less ghoulish than it sounds. In Webspeak, you see, eyeballs mean customers. Since the typical dot- com lacks the one metric that Wall Street has traditionally used to evaluate companies (you remember--earnings) analysts and investors have contrived other ways to size up Net stocks. One now stands out: market capitalization per pair of eyeballs. It's a useful first step in explaining why a company garners a certain kind of valuation. For instance, a pair of eyeballs at Web portal Lycos, with a $7.4 billion market cap, has a value of just $244; at Schwab, which has a $30 billion market cap, a pair is worth $4,562 (ironically, this also happens to be around the price a pair of real human corneas reportedly commands on the black market). If the Internet market were rational, the market cap per eyeball would represent the total profit that you could reasonably expect a company to get from its average customer, adjusted for risk and the length of time before those profits are realized. Internet analysts are the first to admit that today's is not a rational market. So correlating the lifetime value of eyeballs to a fast-growing dot-com's stock price is not perfect science.
