They've begun to cover the bigger east and midwest cities. St. Louis is as far west as they go, while looks like the heavy east is well represented. Seems to me as if they'd need more than one for those cities. rd I do like this part: "I would certainly expect this to be something we'll see more of," said Hilary Mine, director of Internet research at Probe Research Inc.

Martin, I imagine that they will plug in to FNET, eventually, to cover area outside their areas, so that once FNET is up and running, they will be able to offer an even cheaper rate for calls outside the area. Flat Rate pricing, it was only a matter of time....

I imagine that this means that LDNet is basically co-locating the Tempest at Megsinet pops. Based on the following paragraph, could their be more involvement with Franklin and Megsinet: "MEGSINET, Inc. is at the forefront of the convergence of voice, video, and data transmissions provided to customers through a single carrier over state of the art ATM backbone networks. While our competitors have focused on Fortune 1000 companies, MEGSINET's target market is secondary cities where there are over ten million mid-market businesses and institutions in the United States that must participate in the Internet communications and commerce if they are to stay competitive."
