opportunity in the implementation of the CDK business strategy,” said Steven
A. Horowitz, CEO and president of CDKNet.com. “The company’s board of
directors is evaluating whether accepting any of these offers is in the best
interests of the company’s shareholders. . .”
Names of the suitors were not disclosed.
The company’s trademarked CDK technology is a convergent technology that
combines Internet browser functionality, quality audio and full screen/full
motion video in one platform that has application for the multimedia
