Both Lycos and USA Networks play up the combined revenue of the firms, $1.5 billion annually. Pro forma the merger USAi will own 61.5%, Lycos shareholders will own 30% and TMCS shareholders other than USAi will own 8.5% of the USA/Lycos equity (more on the merger in tomorrow's Internet Stock Report).

The merger hype with Lycos now over, ISDEX takes another hammering as investors take profits and shy away from some of the buying frenzy that drove Internet shares earlier this year. The selloff is marketwide as the bears in the bunch trigger a pullback. ISDEX is down 4.7% and NASDAQ not far behind.
