 PROFILE
Scoot.com helps speed up navigation through this world of information overload. The company's database of more than 2 million business records is available by phone, the Web, or digital TV. Users can search the database by business type, business name, specific individual, or product. Scoot.com also can connect users directly to businesses by fax, mobile phone, e-mail, or through its Web site. At the brink of bankruptcy, the company has sold its debt-ridden operations in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands; Scoot.com has announced it still needs capital to continue. Vivendi Universal (which had its offer to buy Scoot.com rejected in 2001) owns 22% of the firm; former CEO Robert Bonnier, 7%; and former chairman Ronald Zimet, 5%.
