One of the first virtual shopping malls on the UK block, Streets Online has Web sites selling CDs, books, DVDs, and games, and more sites are in the works. It also owns an exchange site where visitors can sell almost any media related to entertainment. Streets Online boasts that 75% of its visitors purchase goods from its sites. About half the company's revenues come from sales; the rest is derived from advertising and B2B services such as marketing, distribution, and stock management. The company began life as Infront and its first venture, online book seller Alphabetstreet, launched in 1998. Kingfisher plc owns 85% of Streets Online, while British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) holds 15%.
