Byron - I think I'll post some all-in-one info for the "newbies" so they don't have to hunt around for it in a daze: For newbies: quote.yahoo.com digitcom.com digitcomusa.com tscn.com nas.com digitcom.com -- real-time video-on-demand and live video conference capability along with high-speed data transmission services for subscribers to design and employ as they wish, for various audiences. Videomail etc. Digital Long Distance services are accessible to any touch-tone device - pay phones, cellular phones, fax machines, or computer modems. Mobile PIN number follows the customer where ever he travels - even country to country digitcom.com Launch of service in new markets can be accomplished very quickly. Multilingual access addresses diverse populations. Wholly automated call accounting and billing assure accurate activity reports. digitcom.com web site press releases...(needs to be updated..) digitcom.com ...introducing the first interactive video online service for business. Users can access the Network with Digitcom's PC-based IntraVoice video conferencing-enabled call processing product designed to be a multiple-media communications gateway. Founded in 1987 as Digitcom Communications Corporation by Jim Chin and a small group of talented software designers, Digitcom survived the shake-out of the voice mail industry with an aggressive pricing policy and an emphasis on custom design for tough system integrations and industry-specific applications. In December of 1995 Digitcom's Interactive Video Network operating group launched the first regularly-scheduled re-broadcast of commercial television in association with KWHY Television, Los Angeles. 1996 saw the first use of video embedded in Web advertisements. The DiV-N unit now has offices in Santa Monica, CA, an administrative office in Las Vegas, NV, and a network operating center in Honlulu, HI.

Whether this story is the "Directorate General" or DGIV is irrelevant - since it's an interesting story...... newsalert.com On DGIV's paging & wireless site.. they talk about how they are selling paging "wholesale" I think they want to do the same with Pay TV over the Net :-) Whether it was actually them (doubtful - as it's probably the Directorate General (govt org.) or not is irrelevant... Fact is - they plan on getting into the pay TV arena in any case... Found the "other" site interesting reading...re: wholesale prices for paging services.... Most people will go to the local pager store for paging service. Currently, we have customers with LOCAL service who live as far away as Orange County, Valencia and even San Diego. Why do they drive all the way to Santa Monica? It's because they've shopped around and have found us as the "best buy" in the industry. Rather than going to "Joe's " pager company, they come directly to the SOURCE. Local pager companies all RE-SELL pager service at a marked-up price. When you buy direct, your price is always wholesale. Other companies might initially charge you less money for service, but they will make up their loss once they have you "hooked." Being a pager carrier means that we own all of the equipment and all of the radio frequencies that your pager listens to. Coming to Digitcom for service means that there is no middle-man, pushy salesman, or a here-today gone-tomorrow pager company. Quite simply, we've survived the "growing pains" of running a small business and have lived up to becoming a corporation. Digitcom has been in business since 1992 (Digitcom Services). During that period of time we've grown from a small retail operation into a large corporation. We've branched to four retail outlets in the Los Angeles Area including one in the Del Amo Fashion Center. Not only are we a paging carrier, but the carrier of a unique voice mail network. Currently we are expanding our services into new markets that will set Digitcom as the industry leader in wireless communication. digitcom.com The IntraVoice leverages Digitcom's long participation in three network design disciplines: voice processing, data transmission and digital video signal processing. The constituent parts of this convergent technology together represent the most vital and expanding sectors of high-tech. Even discounting the contribution of telephone companies, the computer online services, information services and basic equipment sales covered by these disciplines are a $25 billion-plus market. Fully integrated with its award-winning voice processing system, Digitcom's introduction of the IntraVoice voice/video "multiple"-media server, along with a subscription to the DiV-N Network, will give business a video conferencing platform and a powerful online server at the point of contact with the telephone network.
