  • 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.
