It was in the San Diego Union Tribute article NBFM referred to earlier "Stensrud's firm, Enterprise Partners in San Diego, has invested about $6 million in AirFiber through two rounds of financing. About half of that came in the third quarter of 1999, when Air Fiber raised $37.5 million in a second-round financing deal that included Foundation Capital, Qualcomm, Northern Telecom and other major corporations, in addition to Enterprise Partners."

One day somebody will figure it out.< Australians Ignore Congestion Warnings Even though wireless and wireline subscribers were given plenty of notice not to run to their phones on New Years, they did exactly that, with Telstra saying large amounts of traffic caused congestion on its mobile and international telephone networks. > commnow.com
