Anyone interested in International Callbacks here are some links: tncallback.se telcan-int.com alpha1.com callbacks.com gen.com csil.com webgeo.com Average price for a Callback Telephone call from China to the US seems to be 1.30 almost half of a standard business call. The range did go as low as a dollar while topping out at around 2 dollars. Some of these companies offer call anchoring and some features similar to the ones offered by Tempest(tm). However, with the use of IT technology and Frank's statements in yesterday's release where he said pennies on the dollars, the Tempest(tm) stands an excellent chance of making a real presence in this industry. I am still looking for hard numbers on the entire Callback industry, but we are now looking at a company that has the proven ability for the following markets: Internet Telephony selling of Long Distance: 63 Billion Internet faxing: 38 Billion Internet Services Delivery, via Satellite: 29 Billion Internet Telephony Gtaeways: 2 Billion Callbacks via IT: ?? Billion We are at a combined target of 130 Billion dollars and we are still going. We could add the the targets for: Video delivery(including DVD) via IT Video Conferencing Distance education(as in RESNET!) Seminar/Auctions via IT That is projected all to encompass the next few years, though the gateway number only goes through the year 2000. Taken all together, I would like someone to find out who our direct competition is. Who else in any aspect of this Industry will compete for over 200 Billion dollars. I am sure I have missed areas and others will fill those in, but the numbers speak for themselves, we need less than .5% COMBINED to be a Billion Dollar Company. But I guess you need vision to see that. And still only five dollars a share, this Blue Light Special sale is in it's final days, enjoy the bargain shopping until then.<GG> PS George, that link worked ok for me, but Yahoo was having problems in general, give it another try and let me know if it still isn't working.
