RB: I appreciate your response to Michael who obviously is in a lot of pain over his investment in FTEL, however, his feelings are not shared by those that have done their DD and know what they have invested in. Obviously, Michael needs to do some more research. This company has come such a long way and is now on the threshold of launching a global telecommunications company using hardware which they have designed and manufactured themselves and which has been demonstrated to be among the best in the industry, not to mention I have used the Tempest on several occasions along with other DGVs and found it to have the best voice quality. In addition, they have assembled a top notch management team that brings the technical and marketing knowledge necessary to make this baby run. Although I hate to see the share price decline, the fact that it does has little to do with the merits of the company. I don't know why or who is selling at these levels but I do know that it doesn't make sense to do so in light of recent events. Therefore, there must be some other reason for the selling which we see going on. My guess is it's a consistent shorting effort by MMs in the absence of a significance buying presence, as well as a general response to the negative sentiment demonstrated by Michael and others on discussion threads such as this. If a person doesn't know what they have invested in, they leave themselves open for a lot of pain, especially with BB stocks. I only wish that people would figure out another way of dealing with their pain other than spewing their misinformed frustration. Back to lurking. Bill

Raleigh....In YOUR OPINION, what will change "investor sentiment" to "re-join" the FTEL group???? I know you dont have a "crystal ball" but I do enjoy your opinion and thoughts.......Is it the '"Switch" being turned on??? DVG sales to someone major???? :"Collocation" announcements with somebody???? More third world countries??? Bigger, more recognizeable countries....ie UK/???? A combination of all the above????? Seems to me that everyone was "eager" to share the FTEL opportunity at $4 and $5 with a freind, family member, etc........but when in REALITY, with the recent price drop, nobody is "sharing" this opportunity with friends, etc due to the "weak price" right this minute......the ole "buy low, sell high" common sense went right out the window with the weak price...... Seems to me , in my opinion, IF you were EVER going to "share" the FTEL opportunity with a freind, family member, etc.....NOW IS THE TIME!! We all "think" that in two weeks, we will be looking at a different story and stock price than right this minute......seems the time is right.......I emailed a family freind who is a Sr Inv Advisor for Merrill Lynch and layed out the story of FTEL and the links associatted with the recent announcements and let him make his own decisions.......if others are going to let their egos get in the way with common sense of buy low , sell high........seems its going to be a long two weeks......just an opinion but looking for others comments and suggestions By the way, I constantly look at IDTC and see the graph and the similarities associatted with where FTEL and FNet are right this minute......think some of those sellers of IDTC who had watched the Chinese Water Torture of the price slide from 17 to 4 are mad at themselves for selling at 5 or 6 a few months later???? Coulda, woulda, shoulda..........watch out for Snake and Rat trying to sell you some "Vintage vino" to raise cash to buy more!!!! gggggg goodlucktoallbare
