Tim, Did I miss something? I thought Portico was in trials with their announced partners. This press release makes things look much more certain. "Portico is expected to be commercially available nationwide on July 30th". Was this so definitely announced before? Do they have enough partners announced to be nationwide, or is this also an indication that they have more announcements in the offing? Regards, Mark About Portico Portico is expected to be commercially available nationwide on July 30th and is designed to allow subscribers to keep in touch with the people and information important to them at any time, from any location. The service integrates voice mail, email, faxes, address book and calendar. It also provides access to content available on the Internet, such as news and stock quotes, and can send faxes or pages based on users' needs. As a second generation virtual assistant, Portico will be accessed through a voice user interface called magicTalk(tm) that uses natural language and will synchronize with a desktop or notebook computer, as well as with handheld PDA devices.

Under the terms of the three-year agreement, Qwest will provide its native Internet Protocol (IP) backbone for General Magic's upcoming integrated voice and data network service... tim... perhaps, now we can put the pieces together: In April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase telecommunications services at fixed prices for an initial term of three years. The Company is obligated to purchase $13.0 million in telecommunications services during the three-year period ending April 30, 2001. it sounds like a plan. thanks, randy
