Just ran across this in this afternoon's mail. Is this news or old stuff and what does it mean to FTEL? Anybody? 08:59 AM ET 06/02/98 Sprint unveils new phone network for the Internet age NEW YORK, June 2 (Reuters) - Sprint Corp. . said on Tuesday it soon will offer an advanced telecommunications network that will allow its customers to make several phone calls, send and receive faxes and cruise the Internet -- all simultaneously and over a single phone line. The product of a secret, five-year, $2 billion development program code-named Project FastBreak, Sprint's new Integrated On-Demand Network, or ION, is expected to offer users "virtually unlimited bandwidth" and should be available to consumers and businesses beginning in 1999, it said. The No. 3 U.S. long-distance phone company also said in a news release that it believes the new system will drive down the cost of a typical phone call by 70 percent or more. It said its cost to provide a full-motion video or conference call will be less than the current cost of a domestic long-distance call. The new system will combine voice and data transmission services over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or ATM, backbone network. Most other telecommunications providers are building data networks distinct from existing voice networks. In offering the new service, Sprint said it will partner with Cisco Systems Inc. , Tandy Corp.'s RadioShack and Bellcore. Cisco will provide technical expertise and equipment, Bellcore will provide the central software framework and RadioShack -- already a Sprint distribution partner -- will help sell the system to consumers.

Helen just called me with the news. They are not allowed to publicize it, but we are allowed to discuss it on the thread. They have three months for FTEL to trade over 4.00 for 10 consecutive days otherwise it will be withdrawn. FTEL will continue to trade OTC BB until the 10 days are met. Once that happens it will immediately trade NASDAQ. I hear there is a lot of news between now and the end of July, so our days below three ( or four dollars) are very limited!! There will be no summer doldrums on this thread...... hip hip hooray best to all Blair
