Also, Mark, I think at that meeting GMGC announced a mid '98 availability for what was then Portico. The initial posting made it seem like this is just another year another announcement and I think that is misleading. According to IR Beta testing for carriers and resellers starts next week and there are also resellers as yet unannounced who will participate.

Mark, we are talking semantics. Of course Serengeti was demonstrated last year and it even won Best Of Showcase by huge margins and Peoples Choice Awards in the early fall. The "concept" was that a service could be established which could utilize that technology. The agreements with ICOR,ALMI,FONX, and MSFT are what will make that concept a reality, not to mention the agreements with the cellular carriers to "test" it. I think we are saying the same thing.
