Thanks for the welcome Vendit!

PLPT has been extremely quiet lately. Do they have something up their sleeve or are they having problems with their new platform?

Here are some observations (dare I say facts?) that I have been collecting:

-------------------------------------------------------------
…and there have been rumors about a buyout by Cisco, Unisys, Ericsson, and Siemens.

PLPT is late with its new platform. GTE has been standardizing this platform in their labs in >Waltham for the past 6-9 months. It has been slow going but they are making progress.

…one of the obstacles with this new platform is making it stable as well as increasing >the capacity. They are at 96 ports right now. That is only one T1 > PLPT will never be able to sell this platform at a profit with only 96 ports given its current cost to build. Their >design goal was 480 ports. However, they are making progress. They are between 300-400 ports right now but long term stability is not present> at this capacity.

…heard that PLPT's $50 million contract with GTE is no longer in place. They have a contact still but it doesn't obligate GTE to spend at minimum $50 million like the original contract did.

…CEO is actively shopping the company (domestically &> internationally). He made a recent week long visit to Europe (presumably >to meet with Siemens).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The PLPT forum here has been pretty stagnant which is in part largely due to the lack of news from PLPT. Let's all try to band together and dig up what is going on with this intriguing company.

Let's face it, if PLPT can get this new platform together they will have a system that be able to sit in all of these high bandwidth packet data networks that are being built by the GTE's, other RBOCs, AT&T, Sprint, Qwest, Level 3, MCI, Williams. And when this happens their stock should shoot up like all the other INTERNET STOCKS out there.

Knock on wood!
