I feel that this may increase the value of Inktomi-based listings a notch or two. Nice move for Inktomi.

I was reading that earlier and didn't see any ramifications for us.

I was thinking outside of the searchbox for a moment. This has the potential to strengthen Inktomi's search engine service client base (get more search engine clients) given that it allows Inktomi to access strategic elements of Cable & Wireless' global network.
If this gives Ink an attractive edge in landing clients, it would make efforts to plan seo strategies for Inktomi more significant. I personally do include Ink results as a part of strategy but know of some who do not think Ink search services are a priority.
