Pakman, I do not believe there is any relationship between Ozemail and DGIV. This story on the Ipxstream site, is the same in substance as the April 28th News release by DGIV. The only difference is the one on the site has Ozemail in the title, that is actually on a different page. I beleive that you will find that the mention of Ozemy was in error, in regards to them being an announced partner of DGIV. Companies can not selectively release substanive news, so that some investors in certain countries have more of opportunity to buy and profit. Companies do not release overseas, they either release, period, or they don't, IMO.

Digitcom Teams with Netro to Offer IP Telephony in Australia
Digitcom has announced that it is expanding its IP telephony services to Australia. It is planning to locate a POP in Sydney so it can use
Netro's data and telecommunications hub, in Sydney, to route the IP telephony calls. From the Sydney hub, Netro gains connectivity with the
international Internet network via the backbones of both UUNet and CWIX.
The Digitcom Internet voice service is using its own IntraVoice gateways and compression technologies for the service. The company is
working with regional and national telcos, ISPs, and PSTN resellers in Europe and the Pacific Rim to establish international long distance
networks.

All that Ipxstreams did was chop the release down a little, but its the same, so I wouldn't read too much into that. Of course, that is not to say there will not be a future relationship, but do not be disappointed if it does not involve Ozemy. |
