Excellent questions. Also, there is some small inkling of product pricing and service offering in the following press release: 205.185.55.112 When this was released, FNTN estimated $200 per insurance agent; a universe of 125,000 insurance agents; and a target of 25,000 insurance agents. From discussions with M. Sheppard, I get the idea that FNTN will market video-on-demand sales tools to insurance agents for this fee. Also, FNTN will provide qualified customers to insurance agents based on a user's behavior on the FNTN site (eg, did the user ask about term life, fixed life, annuities; how deep into the sales pitch did the user go before exiting?) PLEASE, before everyone rips this note to shreds, I'm just trying to piece together information the same as most of the rest of us. I'm not saying this product offering will sell, but this is my understanding of one of the products FNTN will offer. Kevin

DePeepster &/or Barbara, there are two good questions for you to ask: where are the 2nd quarter results, and what were the gross revenues for last year and the first 2 quarters of this year? Surely even Jim Porter won't argue that those are proprietary information which shouldn't disclosed, would you? Chris, I don't mean to be a hard ass in your face type of a person, but yes, I would object - IF - this same information had not been released to the general public at the same time it was being released to a shareholder. As for your post number 5097: For Conference Calls, true ONLY IF the company opens up the conference call or records it for later playback. Not all do. But there are also many private meetings with analysts which shareholders never get to listen in on. That is my point. Analysts are privileged people (I use the term people loosely). ;-) There is just to much information that falls into the realm of "insider Information". To make sure they don't say the wrong thing, many CEO's and other corporate officers, prior to an IPO or anything involving the SEC regulations, will have an attorney or handler next to them any time they speak to a group. It's just prudent business. ......-jp
