everyone is talking about the convergence of data, voice, and video and FNTN provides it through their internet/intranet/telecom systems. also fntn has thought one step ahead and plans to offer all this remotely...look at press release for idb "International Data Broadcasting, Inc. is a company dedicated to offering electronic information streams that will include data, voice and video through its wireless paging services, leading to interactive multi-cast communication in the near future" think of the potential of that looks like fntn is always thinking one step ahead already... we are looking at the future and all fntn has to do is secure a small percent of this for all of us to be happy with our investment.. what happens if we get more than a small %.... i will be very happy to have been in on the ride since october 1997 samir

Hi Wiz: GREAT Post! Speaking of people of "Gold Plated Caliber", getting involved with an emerging technology company, check the following article from yesterday, 7/26/98... cypress.com It announces that Pierre Lamond, founder of National Semiconducter and currently a general partner in the Sequoia Par venture fund,has stepped down as chairman of Cypress Semiconducter Corp. Why? "He was called on to become the temporary president of a small venture company." Guess what industry the "small venture company" is in? The INTRANET industry! The name of the small company is Plumtree Software. They recently raised funds as the following article points out... pathfinder.com From the article.... "This is a great investment for us because we see companies everywhere struggling to bring together different types of information on the Intranet," said Hambrecht & Quist Rupen Dolasia. "Sequoia Capital, Plumtree's original investor, is a leading venture capital firm with a history of high technology investments in Apple, Atari, Oracle, Informix, Cisco Systems, and Yahoo!" So, there you have it...the Chairman of Cypress, a general partner in Sequoia Capital, senses the need and opportunity and challenge in the INTRANET sector. Not to worry of direct competition from Plumtree... seems to be in the nature of a component, rather than the complete CONVERGED solution FNTN is offering. plumtree.com Also, the NEW Chairman of Cypress, is the CEO of 3Com, which is in a strategic alliance with SIEMENS to promote convergence of voice, video, and data. Maybe, FNTN will utilize Plumtree tech in the future? Streetwise
