you sound upset. I thought it sounded good. I have no idea of the details. The idea of an integrated, high speed multimedia pipe to my house does sound good, its got to be cheaper than the number of pipes i pay for now. The thoughts of cell phones is curious, however.

Frank, re " they made minimal (if any) reference to Internet access, preferring to tout the voice and integrated legacy data aspect as one integrated stream, being the grand theme of the offering." By the time they actually get this to the consumer market, Internet access will BE legacy data! How Esrey thinks the LEC's are going to roll over and play dead on the local loop is beyond me. But the biggest factor in all of this is, what consumer in their right mind would trust anything even remotely like an ISP or something as flaky as Windows to handle their phone conversations? It'll bring a whole new meaning to, "sorry I didn't get your call - the _______ must have messed up."

Frank, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not that technical and still learning this industry. I own a piece of a company Applied Innovation AINN. A day or so after Sprint announced the "big news" re: the XDSL thing, AINN released the announcement announced that its AI 4800 Remote Access Server, designed to relieve telephone voice network congestion and provide advanced functionality for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), has completed Bellcore testing and analysis of its SS7 signaling capability. go2net.newsalert.com AINN has always said that they are way ahead of thier competition. FWIW Today AINN released news that they have teamed up with Tekelec TKLC another leading SS7 technology provider who carries Lucent as one of their major customers. Excerpt: "SS7 is tailor-made for relieving data management issues such as network congestion on the PSTN," commented Cory Grant, General Manager of Applied Innovation's Access Products Group. "We have designed our products around this established standard protocol, and are the first supplier to offer SS7 technology that has been fully tested by Bellcore, two Regional Bell Operating Companies and several independent laboratories." go2net.newsalert.com Then I read on this thread where Lucent has been working with Sprint on this issue. You seem to be looking for pieces to the puzzle from this end and I'm coming from the other end. The road seemed to lead me here. Maybe this will be of some assistance to you, and me :) And if nothing else maybe you'll find a couple more good stocks out of this :) Let me know what you think John
