Mark and all, FNET utilizes the latest state of the art fiber optics that can provide bandwidth and clarity unsurpassed by any other conduit.
The latest fiber optics are capable of pushing a trillion bits per second, equal to about 20 million simultaneous phone calls.
Between FTEL and FNET they have not only the equipment but also the highway on which to run it. WebTV realizes that, and to offer more advanced services, they had to look for a company that can accomodate them in providing these new services.
Here is an excerpt off their web site:
Perlman, Leak, and Goldman needed high-capacity phone lines with incredible amounts of bandwidth to fine-tune the WebTV technology, and local carrier Pacific Bell informed them the garage was in such an old neighborhood, that these high-tech services were not available. As a result, WebTV Networks had to call in a cable truck to run the highest bandwidth lines commercially available into the office. WebTV Networks now has one of the highest bandwidth Internet connections in the world, and Perlman likes to claim that it has more bandwidth than any other "car dealership" in the country.
You can be assured that FTEL and FNET can provide this and whole lot more. Frank has been saying that there are areas of the Internet that they have been working on, that haven't even been explored.
Now, consider this. What would you think if FTEL had a Universal, highly configurable piece of equipment, that exploited the Fiber Optic bandwidth and clarity capabilities. Do you think that would get WCOM and GTE's attention?
