Paul, Thanks for that post. This quote should remind people of the focus of this company and what it has always been.
<<We are now poised to take FNet to the public so we can make our dreams (and 5 years of planning!) come true.>> President's Message
When I first heard this discussed 2 years ago, it was, to me, a pipedream, a fantasy. Internet Telephony was not a industry, it too was a drawing board dream. We stand on the threshhold of seeing this dream realized and people are focused on the backburner issues. It seems incredulous to me that the focus is not FNET. That is what Frank is obviously focused on. If you feel that he is wrongly concentrating on a plan 5 YEARS in the making, perhaps those people have fcoused their investments unwisely. FNET was and is the goal. All the rest were ideas that came along the way and possibilities that opened up.
stt, Citidude, and Judith, your post focus on the negative aspects of some of the ideas that have sprung up along the way; without mentioning the successes. How about this one POP-in-a-Box.
An idea that literally came from nowhere(though some of us know who the true credit for this one goes.) and ATT and others bought them.
If and when the FNET IPO goes through, those other deals may start realizing their potential or they may not. However, if those deals do not realize their potential, at that point, the stock will be over $20 anyway and I don't think that you will feel so badly for the loss of these opportunities.
Paul, sorry this started as a short thank you, but it kind of grew to mostly not focus on your post, but your post was concise and summarized a lot of things I've been feeling.
