Yes, Bob, I told my wife earlier today that the outage should work to the favor of KVHI. At the last cc Martin was asked about the progress of the power sensor. As I recall he implied that ABB is attempting to get the cost of the total system down. Not the KVHI units, but the complete system. Why, I don't know. I recall the size comparison - the product is the size of a hockey puck compared to a refrigerator. Or something like that. But, I was under the impression that not only was it smaller, but cheaper already than legacy units, as well as with a huge functionality improvement. So why the heck does ABB need to make it cheaper? Sector, isn't it cheaper than the current stuff on the market? I am at a loss to understand the reason for all the screwing around that ABB is doing. Apparently KVH does not have the right to market to anybody else. It stinks.

Hi Bob, Thanks for verifying that for me. Maybe this will kick 'em in the butt. Roy

SoftSwitching Technologies executive David Trungale says one of their monitors near Lansing first detected a deep voltage sag two seconds after 4:09 Thursday afternoon. Seconds later, monitors around began to detect frequency decay in power grids in Ohio, which spread to Ontario, Canada; New York; Vermont and Pennsylvania. Nationally, investigators have said the power disruptions likely began in the Midwest, but they have yet to pinpoint the cause. Trungale won't say where the Lansing monitor was located, citing customer privacy. Utilities and industrial customers purchase the monitors to get real-time information on power fluctuations. The monitors transmit data through phone lines to SoftSwitching's online data base. Softswitching then monitors the readings and then notifies customers of power fluctuations
