Portalen hat sich der Übernahme/eigentümer Compaq nun

einem vollwertigen Portale ausgebaut. So manche Analysten
freilich raunen, für einen Börsegang sei es zu spät.

the rich valuations of many publicly-traded Internet
companies.
....
Analysts said AltaVista may have missed the boat by failing
more quickly to become a catch-all Internet media "portal," or

online ad viewers and electronic commerce customers.
