Mitch: USAT in my opinon, will probably settle down somewhere between 20 & 30 soon. Its a great concept, but without a real "niche". Flat-rate may be a new buzz word for investors, but don't think the large-telcos haven't thought of it before USAT. USAT, hopefully through FTel/FNet (if its ever there), will take this unique opportunity and apply what I've stated in previous posts, and that is to incorporate a "personal-services-webpage" for each customer USAT brings into the fold.
It just won't happen for USAT to any degree, with just low rates. When I hear FNet offering these services, then I will get excited. But building a software company inhouse is not my idea of beating the competition to the end result for customers.
Since FNet is the service side of it all, you would think partners in software could make what I've stated in the past happen, and put FNet in a unique position to offer USAT these services and more.
I know FNet is trying to build everything inhouse, (after calling), therefore, the things I've spoke about in software that could help in the big picture of "service" viewed by others looking at FNet, would be obvious.
All the great news about USAT and still no underwriters for FNet?, there's not much to go on. If FNet had services to offer outside the Tempest program, (a unified personal communications center) USAT would have jumped at the chance to offer these to their potential customers. Two phone calls, agreements, is all it would take to apply call-center/unified-center, a personal communications center in the software provided by the Tempest Gateway, through another vendor.
At least there are a few at Franklin that agree with me <gg>
