Re: go2net, Inc. - Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 000-22047)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are writing to apply for the withdrawal of the Registration Statement on
Form 8-A (Reg. No. 000-22047) (the "Form 8-A") of go2net, Inc. (the "Company").
The Form 8-A was mistakenly filed on April 10, 1997 under Section 12(g) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The filing's accession number is
0000950135-97-001763. The Company believes that such withdrawal is consistent
with the public interest and the protection of investors.
The Company would be pleased to provide additional information to the
Commission to the extent it has subsequent questions or comments. Kindly address
any such questions or comments to Michael J. Riccio, Jr. or Joseph Listengart of
Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar, 101 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110, telephone
number (617) 951-6600.
