Hey all here's something I found. US Digital Communications Inc. In today's fast growing markets the need for diversification has increased and the professional approach to increase performance is based on selective investment policy.In the late '70's and early '80's the smart money invested in young and promising technology companies, the success and the gains achieved are all well documented. In recent years funding for young start up companies has decreased dramatically due to the extraordinary rise in the major markets, records where broken and impressive gains achieved with a conservative investment approach. Although further gains are possible the risk reward has decreased significantly and a change in investment policy is in the offing. Small cap stocks which have under-preformed in recent years will be the driving force of achieving disproportional gains in your portfolio, in particular investments in small telecommunication and technology companies. Over recent months I have come across a young telecommunication company, US Digital Communications Inc, which has all the assets to become a major player in one of the fastest growing segments of the telecommunication industry: Satellite communication. The potential for Satellite communication is enormous as the need for communication has increased dramatically and with the deregulation of the telecommunication industry is setting the stage for the fulfillment of a vision in connection the world and in providing education to the developing countries. Check out the company web site at usdi.net . The satellite communications industry is growing at a rate of 120% per annum. While it is expected that the rate may decline in the year's ahead, expert forecast that the industry sales will top $50 billion by 2004, from $10 billion today. Although a small subset of the total market , mobile telephony is expanding at triple-digit rates. Projections call for sales to exceed $12 billion by 2004. Personal Communications Services companies have already begun to provide satellite services to mobile customers, giving them an alternative to land-based cellular service providers. In addition, companies like Loral, Motorola and TRW are investing vast sums to meet expected demand for global hand-held wireless phone services. The cellular-like phone is able to be used anywhere in the world. The projected market by 2005 is 7,000,0000 subscribers. Global-mobile phone providers will also use their systems to provide wireless phones to under-served rural areas in countries such as India,China and Russia, where consumers typically have to wait five years or longer to get local phone service. Preliminary projections of the potential market are $6 billion. Supporting this growth is the rapid deployment of satellites to cope with increased demand. Across the globe, dozens of corporations are pouring billions into an exploding race to build, launch , and connect seamless satellite networks. A staggering 1700 or so satellites will be launched in the next decade more than 10 times the 150 commercial satellites now in orbit. Over the next few years communication tools will migrate and the communication equipment we use today will in most cases be replaced by satellite based telephony and communication. As an investor US Digital Communications Inc. represents a tremendous opportunity not only as an investment but also offering the communication tools of tomorrow-today. US Digital Communications Inc.'s drive to success is based on the following factors: The company has one of the most impressive board of directors which includes among others: Robet J. Wussler Chairman (Mr Wussler was president of CBS television and co-fonder of CNN) Henrikas Yushkiavitshus ( Undersecretary of Information and Informatics for UNESCO since 1991. Prior to joining UNESCO Mr. Yushavitshus was Chariman of the USSR sate Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting and Member of the Inter-ministerial Committee for Satellite Communication) The Company's subsidiary is run by: Charles C. Maynard (Executive VP at AT&T , President of Cincinnati Bell Wireless and Managing Director of France Telecom) Furthermore the Company has signed major distribution agreements with: IRIDIUM North America( a consortium composed composed of Sprint, Motorola, and Iridium Canada) IRIDIUM is a satellite based , wireless personal communications network (developed by Motorola) designed to permit any type of telephone transmission-voice ,data,fax,paging-to reach its destination virtually anywhere on earth, anytime. The Iridium network consists of a constellation of 66 satellites in low earth orbit (LEO), about 420 nautical miles above the Eath's surface. INMARSAT INMARSAT (International Mobile Satellite Organization)- 81 member country inter-governmental organization, also owned by the private and public telephone companies of the representative countries. Provider of global mobile satellite communications for commercial , emergency and safety applications on land ,at sea and in the air. CUE CUE is the largest radio data network in the world with five time the geographical coverage of the next largest paging company. Originally founded by Nokia, Cue is the only paging company that uses FM Radio subfrequencies. The companies long term industry partnerships with industry leaders such as Westinghouse, Mitsubishi, an American Mobile Satellite Corporation are an additional plus in evaluating the potential of US Digital Communications Inc. US Digital Communications Incs.'s blue chip clients are , among others: ABC,Boeing, Blue Cross, FAA, MCA,CNN etc. usdi.net
