  Re: REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF POST EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 5 ON FORM S-3 TO REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1 (FILE NO. 333-86313)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On September 1, 1999, InfoSpace, Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-1 (File No. 333-86313), which was subsequently declared effective by the Commission on October 5, 1999. On March 3, 2005, the Registrant filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 on Form S-3 (the “Post Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement to withdraw the Registration Statement. Because the shares registered under the Registration Statement have been issued, it is unnecessary to withdraw the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Registrant respectfully requests that the Commission consent to the withdrawal of the Post Effective Amendment.

 

Sincerely,

 

INFOSPACE, INC.
