    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.

    What Goes Up, Must Come Down: the Politics of the U.S. Internet Industry

    2. What Goes Up Must Come Down: The Political Economy of the US Internet Industry Martin Kenney 1. INTRODUCTION The sheer magnitude of the Internet Bubble and subsequent technology stock market crash are a fascinating lens for examining the operation of the entre- preneurial portion of the US national system of innovation (NSI). The intense rapidity with which US firms commercialized the Internet and Worldwide Web (hereafter we refer to both as the ‘Internet’) is a prism for examining the creation of new economic spaces. If one includes the resulting crash, it also exposes some of the weaknesses of the US innovation system. This chapter draws upon the excellent work by Abbate (1999), Mowery and Simcoe (2002), and Berners-Lee (1999) which examines the pre- and early commercialization phases of the Internet. In building upon their work, we extend it in two ways. First, I situate the commercialization of the Internet in the US history of telecommunications deregulation and the entrepreneurial economy of US startup firms. Second, I describe the collapse of the Internet Bubble. The Internet as a commercial proposition emerged during a period within which US industry was undergoing a profound rethinking of the firm’s nature and competencies. Information technologies were one tool in a wave of restructuring, reengineering and reorganization. The firm was being reconcep- tualized as a ‘modular’ organization (Sturgeon, 2002). Moreover, there was a generalized belief that large firms were in danger of being outflanked by smaller, more entrepreneurial firms (Christensen, 1997). In this environment, the Internet and its perceived impact, driven by enormous hype, reached myth- ical dimensions, suggesting that it would change everything.

Secretary US Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, NE Washington, DC 20549 RE: Request for Relief from § 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Dear Ms. Morris: On January 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) approved the application of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq Exchange”), a subsidiary of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), to register under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act” or “Exchange Act”) as a national securities exchange.1 Nasdaq’s transition of its listing and trading activities to the Nasdaq Exchange will further Congress’s instruction to promote “fair competition . between exchange markets.”2 Absent the relief requested herein, however, Nasdaq’s transition to a national securities exchange would require approximately 3,200 Nasdaq Global Market3 and Capital Market issuers with securities registered pursuant to the Act, or exempt from registration under Section 12(g) of the Act,4 to file registration statements5 to register those securities under Section 12(b) of the Act.6 1 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53128 (January 13, 2006), 71 FR 3550 (January 23, 2006) (the “Exchange Approval Order”). 2 Exchange Act Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(ii). 3 Effective July 1, 2006, Nasdaq renamed the Nasdaq National Market as the Nasdaq Global Market and created a new segment within the Global Market called the Global Select Market.
