This new exchange will be known as Bulletin Board Exchange(SM) or BBX, a listed market place, with qualitative listing standards but with no minimum share price, income, or asset requirements therefore allowing entrance to a wide array of listings. According to NASD, companies trading on the BBX will be differentiated from those over-the-counter in that their market symbol will begin with a the letters "XB", and unlike the current OTCBB issuers will be allowed to choose their own three-letter market symbol. In addition the BBX will have an electronic trading system to allow order negotiation and automatic execution. The current OTCBB will be phased out in 2003 according to NASD, and in its place will be the BBX. 8)CGI COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC.

INDUSTRY
According to TeleChoice, a telecommunications consulting firm, the market for digital subscriber lines (DSL) has charted growth of 300% for the first half of 1999, well beyond analysts' expectations. Positioning itself to give cable modem competition a good run, DSL is a technology that uses digital coding to push up to 99% more information through a regular copper phone line. The result is that the line can transmit data using a higher frequency, and simultaneous voice and fax using a lower frequency. DSL services the "last mile"- the area stretching from the central phone exchange to the customer - that has proven such a challenge in providing fast connections to businesses. Laurie Falconer, DSL analyst at TeleChoice, expects market growth for DSL to speed up, and competition to increase. "There's a lot of demand for it," she says. Falconer claims a main factor to separate the market leaders and losers will be the viability of the targeted market. The Company is aiming to attract multi-location businesses to its products and services.
Published figures and projections about growth of the Internet vary, but agreement about rapid expansion is standard. A new study of the Internet telephony business by Killen & Associates, a telecommunications research and consultant group in Palo Alto, Calif. Forecasts an $8 Billion market by the year 2003 for providers of IP services offering voice, fax and video capabilities. Recent mergers of telephone and cable companies, and acquisitions of Internet technology companies predict that broadband access is the future of the online world.
The Internet's increasingly pivotal role in business via Web content, e-commerce and virtual private networks (VPNs), combined with the lack of affordable, high-speed access solutions for small businesses, have created a large niche for DSL services. Although the market is still nascent, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. estimates the U.S. DSL service market for access alone will reach $7 billion

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to $9 billion by 2002. Although local phone companies are in the best position to offer DSL because they own the core infrastructure that supports it, until very recently, they were reluctant to market these services to business customers. According to New York-based Bank of America Securities LLC senior analyst Michael Renegar, ILECs ("Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers") won't aggressively sell DSL services to businesses. "DSL will cannibalize existing T1 service, for which ILECs typically charge $1,000 a month," he says. "It would reduce margins considerably." 9)BUSINESS STRATEGY CGI Communications Services, Inc., intends to capitalize on the enormous public attention focused on the Internet and the need for increased bandwidth by increasing its' telemarketing sales and technical support staff, targeting its advertising to its core audience, and by providing the most efficient, lowest-cost high speed Internet service in its service corridor. CGI is focusing its marketing efforts to specialty and small business entities. CGI recently entered into a joint venture relationship with TeleHealth Consulting, LLC, to deploy the web-enabled version of ICE(tm) suite of clinical applications to physicians and healthcare providers in the continent of Africa and Asia during when the first phase of this project began later in the fall of 2002. 10)GO MEHO. |
