Internet Highlights…
• Users / Usage — Yahoo! has base of 477MM+ monthly unique visitors (+19% Y/Y with +22% Y/Y page view growth, CQ1)
• Customer Acquisition — Google (500K - 1MM advertisers / vendors, and rising); Paid Clicks up 52% Y/Y in CQ1 - effective targeting should continue to improve + drive rising monetization
• Commerce / Payments — PayPal (143MM accounts, +36% Y/Y, CQ1) + Shopping.com has 60MM+ products in 300+ categories
5
…Internet Highlights…
• Advertising — 8% of total US advertising online in 2006E growing to estimated 13%+ within 5 years. Google + Yahoo! = key drivers + beneficiaries – 100%+ of overall incremental growth is online
• Significant targeting / conversion improvements (related to technology improvements + data leverage) — should bolster annualized global net revenue per unique user of $21 for Google (+57% Y/Y), revenue per active customer of $173 for Amazon (+12% Y/Y)
• Personalization — Recommendation engines improve monetization – examples include Amazon.com + Yahoo! Music
• Music – Apple iPod + iTunes @ $21B cumulative revenue - up from $141MM 4 years ago
6
…Internet Highlights…
• Communications / Telephony — Skype (196MM registered users, +107% Y/Y, +14% Q/Q, CQ1 – may be fastest growing product ever). Based on CQ1:07 data, Skype traffic = ~4% of global international long distance minutes. Global mobile data services revenue (ex-messaging) has $10 ARPU (and rising). IM (instant messaging) + SMS / MMS showing strong growth
• Video — ~60% of Internet traffic may be P2P file sharing of largely unmonetized video — ramp in tagging (for search) + partnerships + monetization – note recent moves by likes of ABC / CBS / FOX / NBA / Sony / Warner / Universal / Google / Yahoo!. Challenges (especially related to copyright / infrastructure stress) are significant, but over time, consumer demand should rule and content creators should benefit
7
…Internet Highlights
• Local — Google ‘Long Tail’ + eBay Classifieds (26MM+ unique visitors, +137% Y/Y, CQ4, per eBay) – traction emerging
• Community / Social Media — Likes of Wikipedia, MySpace, YouTube, Yahoo! Flickr (24MM unique visitors, up 86% Y/Y*) + Yahoo! Answers (79MM unique visitors, up 596% Y/Y*) have experienced extraordinary growth. CyWorld (2MM visitors*, Korea) + Tencent (59MM visitors, China) monetizing. 71MM+ blogs per Technorati. 1B camera-enabled mobiles – ‘citizen journalism’ in infancy
• Mobile — While 17% of global Internet users (38% in N. America) have residential broadband, 8% of global mobile phone subscribers use 3G. American Idol – 63MM votes (via mobiles + Internet) in final 4-hour round, China’s Super Girl – 12MM votes (primarily mobiles) in final 3-hour round. Mobile data services (bolstered by 2.5G & ex. messaging) revenue ~$20B, comparable to online advertising revenue – illustrates potential monetization opportunity for broadband Internet

STOCK RATINGSDifferent securities firms use a variety of rating terms as well as different rating systems to describe their recommendations. For example, Morgan Stanley uses a relative rating system including terms such as Overweight, Equal-weight or Underweight (see definitions below). A rating system using terms such as buy, hold and sell is not equivalent to our rating system. Investors should carefully read the definitions of all ratings used in each research report. In addition, since the research report contains more complete information concerning the analyst's views, investors should carefully read the entire research report and not infer its contents from the rating alone. In any case, ratings (or research) should not be used or relied upon as investment advice. An investor's decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances (such as the investor's existing holdings) and other considerations.
Global Stock Ratings Distribution(as of April 30, 2007)For disclosure purposes only (in accordance with NASD and NYSE requirements), we include the category headings of Buy, Hold, and Sell alongside our ratings of Overweight, Equal-weight and Underweight. Morgan Stanley does not assign ratings of Buy, Hold or Sell to the stocks we cover. Overweight, Equal-weight, and Underweight are not the equivalent of buy, hold, and sell but represent recommended relative weightings (see definitions below). To satisfy regulatory requirements, we correspond Overweight, our most positive stock rating, with a buy recommendation; we correspond Equal-weight and Underweight to hold and sell recommendations, respectively.

Analyst Stock Ratings
Overweight (O). The stock's total return is expected to exceed the average total return of the analyst's industry (or industry team's) coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months.
Equal-weight (E). The stock's total return is expected to be in line with the average total return of the analyst's industry (or industry team's) coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months.
Underweight (U). The stock's total return is expected to be below the average total return of the analyst's industry (or industry team's) coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months.
More volatile (V). We estimate that this stock has more than a 25% chance of a price move (up or down) of more than 25% in a month, based on a quantitative assessment of historical data, or in the analyst's view, it is likely to become materially more volatile over the next 1-12 months compared with the past three years. Stocks with less than one year of trading history are automatically rated as more volatile (unless otherwise noted). We note that securities that we do not currently consider "more volatile" can still perform in that manner.
Unless otherwise specified, the time frame for price targets included in this report is 12 to 18 months.
