Bob, for once I will agree with Jean in that Frank is "slick" as in "absolutely shrewd." Unfortunately that is about as far as it goes, otherwise Jean doesn't know her butt from her elbow about vertical businesses. If she did, she would realize that Ftel is the hardware arm that will feed FNET. Maybe we have to get down to pig farming for Jean to understand. Does Bob Evans have farming costs to feed the pigs that supply the restaurants with sausage? Do you see his sausage in supermarkets also? Two separate operations, sausagae production facilities with their own costs, and the restuarants also with their own cost structure. Yet one supplies the other not only to create its own pipeline of distribution, but also to provide cost effeciencies to make the restaurants competitive in their niche of the food service business. See any similarities? Frank vertically feeds FNET with hardware, that not only makes FTEL fat, but also gives FNET a cost effective means of hardware procurement. In the interim, FNET becomes the flagship for showcasing FTEL's product line. Not to mention being a natural R&D center for continuing product developement. Slick is "right on." rb
