Bill,

I posted about 3 weeks ago on the IDTC thread about concerns surrounding voice quality, echos, transmission delay,... on Net-2-Phone. The stock more than doubled in the two days that followed. Take any of my posts with a grain of salt.

The brief NY Times article I read called Net-2-Phone and similar services "novelty" items, if I recall correctly. I understand they have an extensive international calling network/infrastructure and a viable VoIP software application, but bandwith issues prevail. Also, I get 5 cents per minute on domestic long distance on weekends, so the cost savings is not as important to me as transmission quality.

IDTC has other core businesses that make it a more attractive play than a pure Internet telephony company. You have done well with you investment and diversified the risk of playing an internut stock by being understanding the business plan and market potential of the Net-2-Phone IPO.

I took a small position on your recommendation (a while ago) after some d.d. I guess if I had a more favorable Net-2-Phone experience I may have bet the farm.

How do you see it from here forward.
