"Larry, Here's my understanding of the problem. Phone calls are routed through a switch ...... Therefore, there is growing concern that a switch won't be available when you place a call and you will get a fast busy. This happens a lot at my office by the way because there aren't enough switches out of the building."

Thanks, Dan, very clear and concise.

"Contrary to what I have read in this thread, competition for local service is heating up."

I concur; and this makes me wonder, won't the competition cause more switches to be put in, since the statistical model is changing from the one they've used in the past to decide on how many switches they needed? Or is there something about that which is more difficult than it seems.....

"Now, a possible solution to this problem. DSC Communciations (DIGI) has been in the
news recently promoting their new product called an Internet Cutter."

This is very interesting. I've been hearing about this. Doesn't seem like it would be THAT hard to do, so I'm glad to see this kind of solution. I will check up on DIGI; sounds like they are on top of market needs, and I always like to see that.

"If you want more detailed information on DSC's product, I suggest you call their
investor's relations department. "

Thanks; I may do that.

Larry
