James, I'm afraid most of the people that frequent this thread not only do not realize the ramifications of a miscue, all they see is the stock price down and allow past negative innuendoes to invoke emotions that override their original reasons for purchase based on logic. The telecommunications business is a "barrier business" The telecommunications business is a "barrier business" The telecommunications business is a "barrier business" Understanding the above three lines will go far in understanding Franklin's endeavors, and monumental triumph.....yes triumph. The telecomm industry has a roadblock set up at every entrance ramp, putting up obstacles to both new entrants of service newbies, and there also is an unintentional hurdle that becomes a barrier from the resulting mish-mash of equipment platforms that are prevelant in this industry. Franklin has penetrated both, and that only comes from an astute, shrewd, and well focused managment leadership. Let's first take the service side: Many a new telco company tries entry via laying down a long and arduous path of tarriff aggreements.....many go broke before they even make a dent. Franklin goes to WCOM and grandfathers in the entire globe of tarriff agreements in one stroke of the pen. They also have established several other liasions with alternate backbone providers for redundancy to create a fail-safe system. The problem isn't in creating a global system that works, but rather a system that works under extreme conditions. When the shit hits the fan and a switch goes down, customers (especially corporate) don't want to hear about it, they just want to complete their call. As a company we have had the ability to be operational for some time, but it's the attention to detail, and guaranteed automatic routing that takes time to set up and test under less than ideal conditions. After all how do you create a problem connection? What has to happen for a "World Class" company to come on-line takes endless hours, countless evaluations units, and tons of man hours, to test all situations, work out the bugs, all before the seal of approval can be placed on it. Franklin from a hardware standpoint has to make sure that all the equipment is compatible with all the mish-mash of routers, switches, signal generators, transponders and God only knows what else that is in the collective arsenal of telecom equipment dating back to the 40's. Now if that isn't enough, you then have the software that has to coincide with all the equipment and be able to detect every signal, reroute, grab transactions, and be able to report in real time. Service, hardware, software...... a problem to solve every turn in the road. A pot hole here, a blockade there, bridges out, rock slides, you name it, it was a momumental undertaking. Did I say "was" as in past tense? All the dip shits on this board don't have a clue what Franklin is undertaking, nor do they have a clue as to what Franklin has achieved. Only those that have stayed close to the situation and have taken the time, to know not only the company, but the industry, can appreciate how far we have come. The real shame is that the weak hands have allowed themselves to be swayed into thinking that Franklin has lost momentum, that the storm of sales isn't coming. That a few individuals have taken advantage of the lull in news to their opportunistic advantage, only to instill fear and panic, then buy on the cheap. Unfortunate indeed! Just like parents raising a child, their first step is a monumental achievement, as the day they first go off to school, or loose their first tooth. But other than those close to the situation, it seems trivial. After all do you put down on a resume when you took your first step? My point is this, some things aren't newsworthy. But are they no less important in the outcome of the final product? Those that bought for a quick flip, just got flipped. Those that have taken the time to get close to the situation will look back on all these small triumphs with the same pleasure that is bestowed on a parent when their child grows into a fine adult. Notice I said triumphs, because I only see these bumps as minor setbacks and welcome them as opportunities for further accumulation. Have a great weekend everyone, rb

James I'm serious I got this sores on my butt that is the most worstes "thats a word" thing since the Meyerson drip. Took My prozac My clonipin and my valium and a couple shots of old dead turkey and now I feel a lot better. James I'm so long on the internet Telco combo that it makes my eyes water looking in the mirror.I have included visuals for the hearing impaired. James When Fnet ipos and "Does anybody think it won't"Ftel will auto go to the nasdaq board,Fnet after the required waiting "what I think 30days"correct me if I'm wrong"will join us there.Ok step one is done. A lot of companies Like FTEL that own other companies they spin off in a structured management change That still controll The voting shares Why would'nt they right? Get a lot of share holder equity........... Those are _________periods.Sometimes this is very very good news when coupled with the intent and actual implications of what the hell the spun off companie is all about.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>forward looking statement>>>>>>>>>>>>>______.........period.Ok now this is the end of the storey but not the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>forward looking statements>>>>>>>......This industry will grow.I follow VOCLF and from day one I knew it would grow.Fast How Fast is Fast.Is there enough buyers to sell dvgs to.The industries perception of Ftel is only worth the perception it has in FNET and the growth of the industry in general.Sooooorrrrryyyyyy but that is the bottom line.Now Will FNET sell the $%^&()(&%$## out of long distance???????If so, we got it made, if frank treats us right,If he does not he is in deep doo doo trouble. No reason to believe he will abadon The FTEL shareholders.So I guess I should not worry sooooorrrrryyyyy I will worrie till I see more positive steps taken that will enhance not only FTEL's book value but their earnings and their accumulated wealth as a result of increasing earnings by FNET.Let me tell you just because FTEL will pocket some IPO monie don't make my ronie hard.I see that every day in this industry.Buyouts mergers companies reporting -29 cent losses and 20 mill shares out with 150 mill in bank and the street still don't likem.We have a good product as I have heard But we are a puppy playing bone with the big dogs.If we are as good as we say it does not mean squat till we have Either a major corp on the front page of the rolling stone singing T E M P E S T HOW you've B E E N-- S O-- G O O D to M E over and over and 2nd till FNET gets their first call and it shakes and rattles and rolls the industry into taking a good look at just what the ()&^^&%$^##$@ we are all about.This is where the You know whos come into play.If M&R I perfer Masocist and rookie do their very best and puts out plays that really do the company justice and tells the truth and Earns their money then we may do very good sooner.No press no matso balls.The best I think that frank should do is IPO fnet get it going then sell it to WCOM take a capital distribution in FTEL and getus 10 dollar people the &(&(&^&^%^$%#out of debt.^Then turn around and do it all over again.Really I would like that better then if FTEL kept FNET.Why have two related comapanies in the same industry that depends"that word again"on each other and Besides I'd rather sell DVGs to WCOM then FNET.Justt a take James But who ever takes FNET will have to use the Tempest or make some changes and thats not hard, but say IDTC QUEST or any of them would suck up FNET if we had the share and was for sale.But I'd take 17 a share from WCONM for both companies now in a heart beat.SE ya and take a shot and a lot of salt after reading this.Long till 10 and not pm
