I found the recent news releases encouraging. Much of the news had been projected on this and other boards, which just goes to reinforce, how productive the brain storming process can be.

Here and or elsewhere, the idea that one of the large stock holder officer's of WSTL might step up to the plate and back a loan, for working capital, did come to pass.

Here and or on another board the idea that WSTL should partner with someone, came to pass. This partnership to me is a strategic step in the right direction. Because of the mulitiplexing technology that from what I understand clears up the final bottle necks.

"Since Telco Systems introduced the EdgeLink100 in 1998, it has rapidly become the most deployed DS1 to DS3 edge multiplexer for central office, CO- location and customer premises installations. Telco Systems' EdgeLink100 and EdgeLinkSTS/T1 are fully redundant; broadband DS3/STS-1 multiplexers designed for applications where bandwidth demand is high, but budget and real estate are limited. EdgeLink100 and EdgeLinkSTS/T1 exemplify a new generation of DS3 and STS-1 multiplexers that are extremely compact and quick and easy to install, provision and maintain.

To me this partnership with Telco supports the perspective that the advanced forms of DSL will have a secure place, as the touch point for advanced interactive broadband at the edge, a place that I imagine the less interactive limits of cable can't occupy.

I hope that the new CEO at WSTL promotes the involvement of creative technology groups, within the company, to help push the envelope on upper management’s discussions on the future directions for WSTL's technology.

I have been trying to think of a way that wireless and advanced DSL could be off benefit to each other. Possibly they could act as a bridge system, for each other, in areas where one or the other system doesn't work well because of logistics.

On a more basic level, if a WSTL looks at the whole big picture, and what the customers wants, then you know finding a way to provide bridge technology, that helps a Verizon integrate and connect DSL customers and or wireless customers, is key.

Its my impression that Verizon and other providers will be looking at deriving income from multiple broadband communications systems going forward. So what ever a equipment co.s like WSTL can do to make equipment that facilitates the smooth running of diverse systems, over one main system, is key to winning the future business, of large providers.

By forming an alliance with a wireless co. now, WSTL will have exposure to wireless technology that much sooner.

I can imagine ways that advanced DSL and wireless through a system of integration, could provide close to complete broadband coverage across an entire territory, that as stand alone systems they couldn't accomplish, because of built in limitations.
