  • Network Solutions (NASDAQ:NSOL) posts second-quarter results of $2.46 million net income, or $0.15 per share (diluted) vs. $740,000, or $0.06 per share 2Q97. Revenue jumps 103% to $20.5 million. Driving the increase is a 91% rise in registrations vs. the same period last year. We believe there’s a whole lot of “.coms” to be done and NSOL looks to be at the apex of this. Competition may emerge but having the first service mitigates that to some extent.

Allen invests in many media and telecommunication companies and now appears to be betting that the coaxial cable may be the route to high-speed Internet services. Microsoft also has invested in cable.
