Dear B Spears - Drinking a Latte while driving? Are you sure it was a Latte? :) ".... so they are working on a way to quantify this bandwidth into marketable units of capacity. It will be the newest commodity and will be purchased on the commodities market." I'm bereft about this one. Maybe my friends at the FCC have heard of some such plans proposed to them. Your Friend, Marty

Hi Bob, On a similar vein, you might find interesting the fact that there is a formal "Minutes Exchange" on which firms with excess IP communications capacity can engage in brokered-type auction transactions, similar to that for equity and financial instruments, to sell such capability to firms in need. The exchange was set up by Jeff Pulver, who is one of the frequent contributors to SI's very active Voice-on-the-net (VON), VoIP, Internet (IP) Telephony thread. Following is a brief description of the Min-X from its FAQ page: > > >Min-X.com ("The Minutes Exchange") act(s) as the Market Maker between parties who are either originating and/or terminating IP Telephony Minutes. Membership in the Minutes Exchange will be open to those companies which are interested in having The Minutes Exchange act as a Market Maker, agree to attend the Min-X Dealer Meetings, have verified capacity for either originating or terminating IP Telephony minutes, and pass the credit standards set by Min-X.com. Min-X.com anticipates opening additional dealing desks to handle Minutes Brokerage opportunities in the other Global Minutes Marketplaces such as: GSM, Cable, Satellite and PSTN Spot rates.< < < The Min-X website is at: min-x.com Steve
