Frank - thanks for the reply. I don't have an answer for you regarding why Lucent was selected, but John Howell, NVXE 619.692.0333, would be a good person to ask. John is directly responsible for developing the broadband technology from a business perspective. He may also be able to provide insights into the "plausibility" questions you and others have about the New Wheel technology. I'd encourage you (and others who may have similar questions) to call John so you can ask your questions directly. FYI - I was just sent the following article that apparently appeared in today's IBD. I believe this was a "paid" advertisement by the company, as opposed to an editorial or news piece. In today's, (5/19/00), Investor Business Daily, there is an article about NVXE on page A20. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Transcription of the Article ----------------------------------------------------------------------New Visual Entertainment, Inc. (NVXE:OTC:BB) is pioneering the development of a proprietary broadband transmission technology with the mission to utilize existing copper telecommunications infrastructure to deliver high data content to the home at VDSL (52 Mbps) data transfer rates. On April 20, 2000, New Wheel Technology, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of New Visual Entertainment, Inc., entered into an agreement with Lucent Technologies' NetworkCare Professional Services for the purpose of the testing and validating the Company's Cu@OCx broadband transmission technology. New Wheel is attempting to achieve a High Speed Metallic Transmission at 52Mbps (megabits per second) speed over an 8,500 foot distance on 26-gauge wire, with plans to expand the distance capabilities of the technology to approach or exceed a target transmission distance of 15,000 feet. Lucent's agreement to act as an independent evaluator of the Cu@OCx technology does not constitute an endorsement of the technology. New Wheel has already successfully tested its broadband transmission brand coined Cu@OCx, at 52 Mbps over copper at a distance of 3,500 feet. This achievement far exceeds the data rates permitted by either cable of DSL service and does so using existing telephone lines. As a "last mile" solution to the bottleneck in high-speed data transfer, this technology would accept data from any medium of transfer, i.e. Fiber optic cable, ATM, satellite, wireless, etc. and distribute that data to the end user. Once fully developed, the core technology can be adapted to either OC1 service, a fiber optic business-to-business application, or to VDSL, which would represent significant enhancement to existing DSL service. Allowing OC1 service to be deployed using copper could eliminate the complexities and cost of installing new fiber optic cable to and throughout office buildings. VDSL at 52Mbps allows for the transfer of HDTV using copper wires. Present technology does not facilitate transmission of HDTV data over this distance using existing copper telephone wires. Once the broadband technology is fully developed, New Visual feels that it will have the capability to produce and deliver major studio quality content to mass media markets at unprecedented speeds.
