Thomas, you're so far removed from having any knowledge of this industry that it isn't worth the effort to explain. I happen to personally be dealing with a company that is also starting a national internet telephony network. They are very astute and experienced in the sector. In their selection process they standardized on specific equipment and vendors so as to guarantee the quality of service. Guess what? After having evaluated over a dozen vendors of IT equipment they have standardized on ......Franklin's Tempest. Duh! And futher more, one of the biggest considerations facing any fledgling IT company is the peering arrangements to garner access to the backbone, lay-off charges for origination and termination fees and last but certainly not least, transactional fees for the billing of traffic over their infrastructure. With that said, they emphasized the lead that Franklin already holds over the vast majority of others, and it figured prominently in their decision to go with Franklin as it will allow them vicariously to gain the lost time that it would take to start from scratch to acheive such a milestone in the building of global telephony startup. This still didn't even take into consideration the headstart that Franklin has regarding the NOC (Network Operating Center) being already connected with an OC24 cable. Want to order one? Be prepared to wait 18 months on average, I'm told. Hopefully this helps, but based on past dealings with you, I doubt it, after all for a guy that only lives minutes from NYC you sure made no effort to come to the live demonstration. But then again your interest in Franklin has always been "out of the way" Buenos Dias rb
