CFON -- Another press release about an event of questionable value to the company: biz.yahoo.com CFON will supply equipment to HELP Innovations, a startup company in Lawrence Kansas that is attempting to market videophone service to home-care patients, as a cost-effective alternative to home-care visits. I suppose there is an enormous potential market here if they can convince Medicare/Medicaid officials to pay for this. But, according to the company's web site, -- helpinnovations.com. -- they only finished a Beta test of their service December 1996, with only 43 patients involved at that time, all in Kansas. They also were using cable and ISDN equipment at the time. I could find no other information about the size of the company currently.
