O.K., a question from tech-dope. WHAT if in fact Sprint, etc., does use Portico then as a perk to get new business, MCI, or anyone except AT&T who will be loyal to anything LU tries to do or it doing in any phase. Then that TELco could simply give you a break on that as a reason for switching phones.

Again, this is either totally brilliant, or finally I do not really have enough money to play with and can forget it and go back to things in life which actually are much more fun than hanging on the net tracking a stupid stock's every single hiccup, like it's a newborn or a prized tiny puppy.

Also, isn't that exactly what the information system does now? Gives you a number, and will dial that number immediately for you, and charges you .35 for the savings of a few seconds dialilng the phone yourself when you hang up? Can't Portico people also simply RE-DIAL the number without double charge? Is that feature only for Donal Trump who is actually that lazy he can't even quickly punch 7 little digits?

Sorry, I just don't get a lot of this, and ask questions based on my small non-tech universe. Why wouldn't the Telephone companies want this and why wouldn't they use it as bait to get people to switch? Heck, they pay big bucks to little people to just switch back and forth every few months. They just want you with THEIR company. No one mentions that here, maybe it's not possible or something?
