Mark, exactly, if people would just go back through past press releases and also read Franklin's business plan and follow along with "The Presidents Message" it's all there. Frank is putting together a mega-multi diversified company that will be at the nucleous of the Internet. Like a concentric spiderweb with each thread (paths) running to the center of the web with the big spider (FTEL) waiting to service them with both support and equipment. FNET was not built to be just a vertical market, but will serve as another lending hand to the independent ISP's to give them an equal chance of surviving against the big RBOC's.
If you want to understand Franklin and what you have, you better have some of your own vision or someone is going to shake you out of your shares.
I have finally figured out what Frank is doing, I always knew what his goal was, but I never could figure out how it all pieces together. Now I know.
All I can say, is Franklin will be to the Internet, what Ace and Cotter Hardware are to the mom and pop independents. I am not going to sit here and do all your homework for you, but if you want to see past the tips of your noses, to what you really own, I'd suggest you get on a phone and call your local True Value hardware and ask them what purpose Cotter provides for them.
When you know the answer to that, then try to put a price on FTEL or FNET. You will also understand what a blockbuster news announcement yesterdays 900# is and how it is one of the cornerstones to the overall plan.
Frank is brilliant beyond compare, he has taken each weak link and tied it all together to form one very strong chain, with FTEL/FNET as the common bond.
A old trick, applied to the newest goliath industry the world has ever seen.
There is no way to comprehend the value of FTEL stock, especially the equipment end, it's endless.
While looking beyond your noses to what you have, apply your mind to what a mega-multi faceted Intenet Central Distribution conglomerate would be worth.
Then ask yourself BUY, SELL, or HOLD?
See you at the auction. RB |
