My perspective on FTEL, is that Frank, has a vision for this company that extends well beyond the realm of the "next" news release. I have come to the realization that FTEL, is on the cutting edge of Data/Communications and Internet Telephony, although they are not the current leader they are still a force in this stage of the game. That said, here is what I see happening, we partner with a couple of major carriers for backbone use, thus further establishing our legitimacy as a player in this budding industry. This is an uncharted-unregulated, Wild-West Gold-Rush and we are in the Hunt. These partnerships being forged now by Franklin et.al. will be perhaps the Giants of Data Communications and IP-Telephony in the next millenium. For those of you, whom are weary,impatient,frustrated etc. over the daily miniscule fluctuations in price, perhaps need to step back for a moment and see the forest instead of looking at a few trees. I realize, that there may be traders which want the price to go up and there are others who perhaps bought higher and may simply be waiting to "get-out". To those people I would like to say {fair the well} and good luck, in whatever you may endeavor. For those whom are here because they like what FTEL is doing and have an Imagination for what FTEL can become, I say welcome aboard. We are in a new era of telecommunications, which, FTEL/FNET's acceptance and penetration will undoubtably make us all happy. Now, dotting the i's and crossing the t's in the "final stages" of these imminent contracts is only one step, albiet a major one, that sets the stage for FTEL to become a true Data/Communications-Telephone Company . Charging for minutes of use, like many of the majors do now, but, at unheard of low rates and unbelievable QUALITY . Coupled with equipment sales from FTEL to FNET to third parties=bonanza! I'm done rambling now, I will close by stating that one should again look further than the next news release. I feel the price has based and that is fine for now. We have a long way to go and my thinking has shifted to a 2 year outlook, rather than a few months. I'm sure Frank, has plans that extend far beyond the next contract/news release.
