"We are building a road into the future." Whoa. Better hope that's not a tobacco road. Already been tried. Just leads to Starr gazing... So much for that "bridge" that Bill wanted built. Evidently only good for jumping off. Those who make it to, or arrive in, the twenty-first, are not likely to want a connection with the end of the twentieth. I can see the unwelcome sign ahead right now. Keep your self-destructive ways to yourselves. All exits open to those who can't handle others being human. Forgive and regret. Anyone recall what's important here? Grime and punishment? If you can't trust the messenger... wasn't that johnny's song that sprang loose the juice despite what dna's say? Legalitease! Seems law's bringing us fools circling. And yet we get what we pray for. I think we better do better praying. --dch (nether mind)

Hey David, I read your post. I'd like to make a few comments briefly. Your question about when DGIV will begin linking countries is indeed a good one. I suspect that much of the 4Q will be devoted to this task. As far as I know, this is a laborious project. It may be safe to assume that we will see country to country interaction on the DGIV network by the beginning of 99. It is my impression that Mr. Chin personally remains concentrated on striking more contracts with new countries. As far as a comparison between FTEL and DGIV goes... I honestly do not know enough about FTEL to make a fair comparison. There were some surprising similarities within the CEO's note to shareholders however. Especially his philosophy about the network they are attempting to build... how their main concentration is not within the U.S. etc. due to major telco monopolization stunting IP growth here in the states. The main difference between the two start-ups and their future is probably two fold IMO: 1. The countries they end up getting a foothold in. DGIV seems to be more macro in this sense (jakarta, seoul, tokyo, sydney, cairo, etc.), but again, this is JMO. 2. The abilities of the respective CEOs is paramount. Jimmy Chin has the skills necessary to inspire not only his employees, but his clients as well. He can "talk the talk," as well as "walk the walk," so to speak. I don't know anything about Frank Peters. Ideally for FTEL, he has similar leadership qualities. Inevitably, time will tell... good luck. BTW, the fact that you mention DGIV as not being a fully reporting SEC company most likely displays your motives IMO. Either that, or you're completely unaware that DGIV has a SB-10 filing that could safely be described as imminent.
