but looking beyond "colocation", is WCOM going to enter into a contractural aggreement with FTEL if their intention was not to consider them their primary venue or collaborator for this service?
I think it's possible they would. I think they would sell their co-location service to (or enter into any other kind of similar contract with) FTEL regardless of their intentions regarding FTEL/FNET in the future. Granted, I would expect them to be somewhat selective. I'm sure I couldn't just trot to the nearest WCOM, write a check, and be co-located, but I think it's too early to infer anything beyond the simple fact of FTEL's equipment getting strategically placed.
There might be much more to this "colocation" agreement than meets the eye
This is very true. Nothing past what meets the eye can be assumed yet, but it doesn't mean it's not there.
"Colocation" will very likely turn into marriage if FTEL becomes a dominant player and Frank allows it to happen.
Personally, because of my own feelings about Frank and company, I think what you're saying is indeed very likely. I think FTEL will become a dominant player, and I think WCOM will some day come a' courtin'.
BTW, hi all. Haven't posted in the thread for a while, though I've been lurking. I've been in and out of a lot of companies (and this one) many times in the year+ that I've known of FTEL, and this one's still my favorite. Though I don't currently own the original shares I bought (but I do own many more than I did then), I still keep them and their $1.79 price in my Yahoo portfolio as a reminder of how far this company has come since the "Where's the audit?" days. :) |
