Joe, I agree, there looks to be a lot of retail buying on the tape today with the good news out and the anticipation of what we could hear on Thursday. With Locus now part of DCI with the 8-K filing (subject to financing, but I cannot imagine this being a problem) , I am going to be happy whether what Joe has to tell us on Thursday is significant or not. (G) After the long struggle to get here, I have to keep reminding myself that we are now a 100 million+ company, this was the hard part IMO and I feel that Joe will be able to complete the second half of his goals..it's just a matter of time. (G) At this stage of the game, I would say just let the CC shareholders continue to transfer their shares into the eager hands of new and current DCTC shareholders and let DCI management focus it's energies on DCI and our future goals. I forsee the DCI shareholder base expanding at an much increased rate with the Locus news out, so hopefully it won't be too much longer before we are through with the CC shares that want to be sold.

Could This RUMOR Be Us (4TH Par) 01:13 AM ET 07/27/98 GTE in merger talks with Bell Atlantic - USA Today NEW YORK, July 26 (Reuters) - Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp. are in merger talks to create a U.S. telecommunications powerhouse with revenues of $53 billion, second only to those of AT&T Corp , USA Today reported Monday. Talks between Bell Atlantic and GTE are described as preliminary but serious, and could result in an announcement as early as this week or drag on for months without producing a deal, senior executives from both companies told the newspaper. Spokesmen for Bell Atlantic and GTE declined to comment on the report. GTE, predominantly a local phone company, made an unsuccesful bid for MCI Communications Corp. in late 1997. It's proposal was topped by a bid from WorldCom Inc. . It has been rumored that Stamford, Conn.-based GTE has been in talks with a number of other telecommunications companies since the MCI deal fell through. Bell Atlantic, one of the original baby bells, is predominantly a local phone company and last year bought Nynex Corp. The $25.6 billion merger created the United State's second-biggest telephone company after long-distance giant AT&T Both Bell Atlantic and GTE have recently made efforts to bolster their data and long-distance services.
