Jim -

I believe you are correct about FTEL's potential being "well beyond the scope of this announcement". The comments on this thread are all speculations of the FTEL/WCOM agreement. Set aside the WCOM part of the equation for a moment and look at what Raliegh posted earlier:

"UUNET will host Franklin's DVG Tempest's in a rapid deployment not only domestically but also worldwide. It gives Franklin tremendous leverage in leapfrogging the competition and it also bypasses a lot of red tape regarding tariffs."

No one has deployed a viable IP solution in the marketplace yet. The first one to get there obviously has the advantage, both in acquiring name recognitionas well as huge revenues. Consider the following in relation to FTEL's competion (contemplate these potential road blocks below that FTEL has already overcome, but their competitors have not):

1. RAPID deployment - domestic and world wide
2. BYPASSING red tape regarding tariffs
3. FTEL SUPPLIES the hardware directly to FNET - no dependencies!!
4. FTEL's IP solution works anywhere, world wide - telephone ONLY
5. FTEL's solution is more than voice; ie., fax, find me...

FTEL's agreement with WCOM has GREATLY accellerated FNET's implementation (they now have the "glue"). How great is yet to be seen.

The next major step for FTEL could be the FNET IPO. This will bring
the required capital into the coffers to fund the expansion.

Cheers,

George
