Stephen, it appears that FTEL has picked up a rather respectable customer. From the size of the order, it sounds like a starter [or eval] package to me. Could be a special trading floor niche, possibly something on the order of a long distance private line ring down assembly, or part of the fabric built into a hoot'n holler net. We'll see. I'm just guessing that it is VoIP equipment tho. The PR is not clear on this at all. Maybe it's channel bank or something else? If it is VoIP, I can think of a number of possibilities as to how Reuters might use it. We've talked about this niche rather extensively in the past, upstream here in the thread. One of the potential barriers of entry to smaller securities trading operations when setting up shop (both here and overseas) is the cost of comms. Cheap private line services to the major trading houses could mean all the difference in the world to some of these folks. Regards, Frank Coluccio ------- Courtesy of J.
