A gallery of familiar rogues here: "IBC is currently focused on profiling emerging undiscovered wireless/convergence stocks that have the potential to model Metricom's performance and will soon be featuring Internet Media (OTC BB:USRF) and Telecom Wireless (OTC BB:NOYR) at its Web siteibchannel.com . Why wireless/convergence? Besides following the smart money like Paul Allen and MCI, with the media convergence and communications revolution well underway, traditional market leaders are looking to broaden their service base by acquiring or investing in smaller, more agile companies.usrf.com -- According to an article by Tyya Turner atteledotcom.com -- "... IMC recently announced the launch of its Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System, which the company says can be deployed in a week or less. IMC manages the equipment, which uses the 900- or 2,400-MHz bands, and charges the ISP a monthly licensing fee. ISPs can offer Quick-Cell wireless access for 40 to 50 percent less than the typical cost of a T1, says James Kaufman, IMC's vice president of corporate development." With the acquisition of CyberHighway, not only did Internet Media acquire approximately 27,000 dial-up Internet access subscribers and a state-of-the-art Network Operations Center, the company also gained immediate access to customers in over 230 markets in which a CyberHighway-owned or affiliate-ISP provides Internet services. The company intends to establish a Wireless Internet access system in nearly 50 of these CyberHighway markets by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The company continues to pursue aggressively the acquisition of independent ISPs and licensing of independent ISPs who would exploit the company's US.RF Wireless Internet access products. IMC recently announced the launch of its Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System, which the company says can be deployed in a week or less.noyr.com - Telecom Wireless is a Next Generation Communication company led by Dr. Jim Roberts that capitalizes on convergence of video, voice and data in order to bring broadband connectivity, content, and e-commerce over a wireless platform through the Internet.
