AWSS started trading a few months ago. Here's their latest PR.....http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/000912/ca_adv_wir.html (clip from their above PR.....) ``Our acquisition of Daybreak is the first in a series of acquisitions and mergers designed to diversify our portfolio. Our objective is to bring added stability to AWSS, positive cash flow, and a quicker path to profitability,'' said Tom Howard, president of AWSS. ``By all measures, Daybreak's addition to the AWSS portfolio will achieve all three goals and help us reach profitability by the first quarter of 2001.'' Unusual maybe, but at least they are working the business in a way where they will not always be looking around for more financing! :o) New AWSS web site: awireless.net Some information about MMDS Multi-channel Multi-point Distribution System (MMDS) Which AWSS has acquired. (from a recent ADAP PR below....) "As the fixed wireless broadband market evolves, we have been very responsive to the changing needs of our customers, which is an important element of our success. We offer a formidable combination of next-generation technology with attractive pricing, enabling our customers to be successful as they deploy their networks around the world. An example is our development of our MMDS product; even though the MMDS market for business applications has yet to take off in the U. S., our MMDS product is ready for first customer deployments in Latin America this quarter," stated Adaptive Broadband's president and chief operating officer, Daniel L. Scharre. (from the Sprint website......) Q: What is Sprint Broadband Directsm? A: Sprint Broadband Direct is an innovative, new method of delivering high speed broadband Internet access to residential and business customers. It utilizes a new technology called Multi-channel Multi-point Distribution System (MMDS) that delivers broadband over a secure, always on, reliable fixed-wireless network at speeds up to 100 times faster than a 56K modem. I have a position in the company already. This is not a buy recommendation. This post is for educational purposes only. :o) As always do your own DD...... Happy Investing! KZAP

ACEN......WEEEEEEEEEEEEE TAMPA BAY FINANCIAL INC. Sarasota firm acquires interest in Texas venture posted 10/19/00 By Eileen Kelley Sarasota Herald Tribune STAFF WRITER A Sarasota venture capital firm, Tampa Bay Financial Inc., has taken over a controlling interest of an Austin, Texas, radio communications company. Tampa Bay Financial has already pumped $1 million into the venture, American Communications Enterprises, which will leave the radio communications business and venture into the video, data, wireless and voice communications industry through future acquisitions. Since the controlling interest of American Communications Enterprises was acquired late last week, over-the-counter stock trading has soared for the company. By the close of the day Thursday, American Communications Enterprises' stock prices increased 53 percent after it announced that morning that there would be a 4-to-1 split in its stock beginning Oct. 30. About 2 million shares traded hands Thursday. The stock closed at 40 cents, up 14 cents. American Communications Enterprises is expected to be a Sarasota company for only a short period as Tampa Bay Financial completes two more mergers with major telecommunications companies. Carl Smith Jr., director of new businesses for Tampa Bay Financial, would not name the two companies on Thursday, but he said, "They have revenues in the millions." The acquisitions should be completed in the next few weeks, he said. Officials touted the split as an important step in the company's business model that will put it in a key position with pending mergers and acquisitions. In connection with the transaction, American Communications Enterprises' chief executive officer and chief marketing officer have resigned and have been replaced in the interim by Tampa Bay Financial Chairman and CEO Carl Smith Sr. and Chief Financial Officer Matthew Veal. Steve Wagoner, director of corporate development for Tampa Bay Financial, said the group intends to invest at least another $9 million in the new venture. American Communications Enterprises had hoped to purchase radio stations in its early days but never did, officials said. "They failed in their business plan," Carl Smith Jr. said. Wagoner said the company hopes to take the telecommunications company to an international level. "It's a very competitive market," he said. The principals of this 11-year-old Sarasota capital group provided the venture capital for the emerging Sarasota company DNAPrint genomics.
