Re: Mills and Foundries That's a very good analogy and explains why FRO and GBLX were such a good match. In the industrial age factories were built right next to rail lines to receive raw materials and ship out finished goods. In the information age, fiber is the new railroad and locating "information factories" right on the new "rail lines" is a similarly compelling combination. Given the global reach of GBLX's network, a "factory" located by its "rails" will have direct access to the top global markets. This means that companies will replicate their "factories" for disaster recovery purposes rather than the need to be on several different networks to provide adequate global "reach". This also explains Winnick's goal to extend GBLX's reach directly into the cities on its network. The resulting global end-to-end offering from a single source will be unmatched by anyone. Little wonder that Winnick projects the sort of confidence he does. He knows he's building a 21st century colossus. Listening to Winnick's presentation only confirms my belief that GBLX is a core technology holding.
