I doubt they will attempt to be an overseas ISP. And I am sorry if I mistook your post as one that did not understand the difference between the Internet Service and Internet Telephony, that is certainly the way it appears. I have never heard FNET of being an international ISP only an Internatiional Telephone Company, and your passage had nothing to do with Telephony, so you can see how I was mis-lead by your words. As to who they will sell hardware to, I have never heard of them limiting themselves to corporations that are in the United States, have you seen a passage that states They Will Not sell their equipment to a particular industry or corproartion based on any aspect of that company's location? As for having MCI as an ISP and a phone company, fantastic! Now I know who you will receive your Internet Telephony bill from as well, and I thank you in advance! Co-Location Thomas, perhaps you wish to discuss this Concept as it relates to this industry. Maybe we could generate discussion on why Co-Location with WorldCom is an incredible feat for a company of this size? Would that suit your needs Thomas? Oh yeah, There are storm winds brewing, after all you said so, and I always take you at your word, because of how honorable you have always been. DA DAH DAH DAH/Those Storm Winds are Brewing!! You coined that slogan first and I wanted to credit you publicly with being the first to use that phrase, your contributions have been invaluable in showing the worth of this company. I know that you will be here in 6 months and will enjoy greatly our conversations in the meanwhile. Can you explain some of the strategic aspects of how you would envision the deployment of the DVGS throughout WCOM, UUNET, and other POPs worldwide. I would enjoy hearing your opinion on how much revenue you feel could be genrated through each Tempest(tm) and subsequent profit margins from both our manufacturing and selling of Hardware and the Amount of Internet Telephony, not Internet Service, revenue that could be generated through each port of the DVG. Where do you see the future of Internet Telephony? Will it be the 63 billion dollar Long Distance market, the 38 billion Internet Faxing industry or will it be the Video Delivery though the Internet? Your thoughts on the future of the industry will allow people to determine FTEL possibility of being a profitable company. Of course if you do not understand the industry and can not talk intelligently about the technical and financial aspects of the industry I do not see how you could intelligently discuss Franklin's future of all aspects of Internet Telephony. How many other Internet Telephony comapnies are Vertically Integrated and have a presence in every aspect of Internet Telephony? I am sure your answers will provide insight for all.

Thomas, your confusion is understandable. Is it ever. So that we can get beyond it, I will type very slowly so that you have no trouble in comprehending a three-dimensional enity. Franklin Telecomm is primarily a hardware manufacturer. FNET is a division of Franklin that provides services, and is slated to be spun off into an IPO. FNET provides two services. Primary service is that of an Internet Telephony company. Secondary to Telephony and on a much lesser scale is in offering ISP (Internet Service Provider) services on a limited scale. AS WITNESSED BY THE S1-A WHEREBY THEY DO NOT INTEND TO ENTER OR OFFER ANY IPS SERVICES ABROAD. BUT THEY DO PLAN TO DEPLOY INTERNET TELEPHONY SERVICES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AS WITNESSED BY THE PRESS RELEASE. COMPRENDE' SENOR? RB
