<50 Times Faster Than Conventional Modems? Now That's Fast!>This was
the headlineed on their original press release,and as you read a person not sophisticated to internet tech(of which the majority are not)they get the strong impression this modem is their doing,their breakthrough and this is some how a revolutionary event--of which,of course it was not----now if this appeared in an ONLY a Santa Barbara area paper,and on behalf of a non-publicly traded company,it would just have been a harmless hype ad to get people to subscribe to their
ISP---but this is a Nationally traded stock,and they blasted this
out on to the national news wires---why??? To get an internet fever
run-up--probably one they would sell into----now if you look at the
press release that Nasdaq MADE THEM re-write---the confusion about
the modem is totally irradicated.--this my opinion only,Max90
