mark, Maybe, maybe not. The "big boys" in this country are notorious for missing the early signs of erosion in their market share. While I'm sure some people within the big telcos are aware of Digitcom and the threat/opportunity it represents, it wouldn't surprise me at all if company leadership is still blissfully unaware, much like the Big Three were during the first few years of increasing market penetration by Japanese automakers.

Mark, DGIV's presence and all the others. Anyone in the IP telephony business will cause the telcos to shake in their boots. If you read the articles in CTI magazine(posted a URL before), they indicate how the long-distance telecom companies have a hefty battle ahead of them. Everyone knowledgeable on this topic knows that IP telephony WILL and IS revolutionizing the long-distance market. (Cellular-satellite telephony will further bring down the telecos) Creating low rates will kill the big boys. One of their problems is that if/when they get involved, they will need to do something about all those telephone lines that will be used less and less(the write-off will be huge). They will compete just like anyone else, but the new technology will force them to figure out a way to keep maintaining the old millions of miles of copper without destroying the bottom line. The advantages of IP telephony on the cost structure will drive its implementation. Quality of sound only matters with spoiled customers like Americans. Miller

Mark: Re: Big Telcons shaking in their shoes. Indeed they are. AT&T released their earnings yesterday and from what I surmised there was very little top line growth; most of the earnings came via cost cutting. The CFO was interviewed on CNBC yesterday and was queried about the threat of IPTelephony vis a vis future earnings. His reply was something of a ho-hum but acknowledged AT&T's awareness with their own division set up for IPTelephony ( whose name now escapes me ). Aye! Love it! Cause therein lies their dilemma! How to promote a technology that's gonna cut into your fatter profit making core business. A ho-hum with, I think, a well disguised sense of fear. Lazarre
