Wayne: I didn't proof read this, so please bear that in mind.
Like many of us here now understand, its either Gold, or Fools-Gold within the next 12 months. We won't need positive earnings, just a strong foundation for both companies and strong revenue growth.
For many months we have understood the direction Franklin is going and are waiting patiently for Franklin to BUILD off his many hundreds of prospects for DVG & the upcoming FNET IPO. When I first talked to Frank over 2 years ago, I knew inside it was going to be the DVG setting the stage for a serious impact for FTel leading into FNet. With Fnet coming public soon, that will set the (main course) for both companies.
If you understand Franklin Internet and the Telephony Network Franklin is setting up World Wide, then you also understand that patients with a capital P is a must here. Company evaluations is only thing that will take many more months then a demo I think. Remember the last news release on the China connection via Franklin DVG. I truly believe that Franklin is posed to explore the overseas connection just as fast as stateside. With all the .10c competition going on with the LD companies, I think the big money is going to be overseas back to the stateside and return. I know Franklin realizes this and is making connections all around the world.
On an overall view of Franklin, there's not really much left here to discuss if you have read the last 25k posts. If I remember right, back about 15k or so, you will find allot more info pertaining to Franklin and its direction. We have discussed all the competition, partners, possible partners, all the different types of transmissions, and are now patiently waiting for the IPO of FNet with world exposure for both companies via WorldComm.
What is really exciting now is that Franklin is FOCUSED on exactly what they want to accomplish, Frank has always wanted to build a telephony company and supply it with Franklin products. Its a great concept from a to z.
Speaking of A to Z, I remember my father owning a surgical house with everything imaginable from hospital beds, oxygen, first aid equipment and more. He also owned an ambulance service that monopolized the entire spectrum of PATIENT CARE. Can you figure why owning all of these would work from A to Z? There were plenty of times when I would go on an ambulance call, pick up the patient and take them to the hospital. Within days or weeks, the patients family would call to have them picked up and taken home by ambulance. Right behind the ambulance, there was the surgical truck with hospital bed, wheelchair, sickroom supplies, walkers, crutches, etc, etc. It works great and everything you needed was at a one stop shop. Everything you needed to supply the ambulances was in the same surgical house, and we where able to get that at wholesale cost, saving big bucks.
One hand fed the other in many many ways.
That's how I see Franklin in its products including channelbanks, and many more new products that will all compliment the Tempest Gateway. Franks an entrepreneur, and it that, I am very pleased due to the nature of how fast the so called "cutting-edge technology" can change.
Franks a visionary and it will take that and much more to stay a few steps ahead, or not far behind the technology curve. Its like Peter Thornton once told me, "today's the DVG, 3 or 4 years from now, who knows, but it won't be the same, and major changes within the gateways will happen. You just have to keep on top of every little thing that comes around."
When you look at the competition and the partnerships they have, look also at the price. Many it seems are adjusted to the "speculative future" of who has put money behind that particular company. Franklin will have a major backer, there's just no way there's going to get around it with a great product, and FNet coming public.
I look back at Dell Computers when they were just 2 bucks. Boy was that a pipe dream thinking it would run in the hundreds, and look at all the competition they had, many more times what Franklin has within the Telephony sector. There are less then 5 SERIOUS FULL SERVICE TELEPHONY COMPANIES out there, its a few compared to other sectors like a Dell Company.
But I must remember that we have the possibility of owning part of a telephone company and run by some very good people, speaking of FNet, and new executive new names should be announced before the IPO.
Every major telephone company or companies in this sector want a part or piece of Telephony IP, and Franklin has a great start, better yet, a fantastic start.
Like Frank said, there are less then 5 companies out there, competing with Franklins diversity. LESS THEN 5...............!!!!
My suggestion like it has been for two years now is to use WebFerret software webferret.com and run searches for "Internet telephony", "data voice gateways", and there you will find hundreds of website pertaining to companies involved both public and private, and a great understanding on where companies like Franklin are headed.
The more you call a company like Franklin, the more you feel comfortable with your investment. As for myself, I seriously doubt if anyone there hasn't heard of me more then just a few times. ggg No bragging, but that's the way "it should be" if your truly investing in a company long term, and you want every available piece of information you can get your hands on.
You have to dig for information, ......I never knew of Gold ever lying on top of the ground. gg
As a friend of Buffets said once, If you wouldn't put every dime you own in a company, then don't have it as part of your portfolio.!!!
hangin around Temp'
I really see a company focused now, more then ever. I just hope that the individual companies calling in for special software to run the DVG's are paying out the NOSE!!!! I don't think there are any other companies out there now that are customizing like Franklin is. ggg
Please give a long timers a break. ggg zzzzzzzzzz |
