Barbara: MS & MM discussed as example with me charges for two specific services in the industry. The first was basic telephony charges. The average mid-sized Broker/ Dealer spends in the neighborhood of $15,000 per month on theses services. FNTN will offer these services at competitive prices. The main reason for switching to FNTN from a current carrier would be access to the value-added services. Corporations thrive on expanding offerings to their own customers.
The 2nd service mentioned was "Distance Learning" via video conferencing. One of numerous value-added services in the offing. The current industry standard (thru Bloomberg) is $5,000 per meeting. FNTN's intention is to provide a more sophisticated service and, I believe, at a lower charge. FNTN's system will allow direct multi-point communication between Broker/ Dealer and end client/ Prospect as opposed to Bloomberg's system, which requires a middleman in the communication link - thereby cutting off the Broker/ Dealer from the prospect. So FNTN's system also allows the Broker/ Dealer to gain direct access to prospective clients - and it's prospective clients that keep their collective ship afloat.
At the core of FNTN's revenue are the ongoing telephony-type of charges. These are the exponentially expanding ones - recurring, predictable and building with each new signing. Then there are the one-time charges such as one-day video conferences. The assumption is that companies will use and re-use this service if the price vs. results are warranted. Bloomberg seems to think so. I believe that FNTN will profit too.
