Excellent observations and questions by a poster that is sorely missed here on SI. With out his permission I am posting it here for comments. I am sure many have read it and maybe as I catch up on the "bull" that others have answered these questions but as I read it this morning it struck me as worth the repost. Thanks Martin: Those who know me know I am long FTEL and believe in the company and its future. That said however I think we need to examine the CEO message and removal of the flashing balls ( YES YES YES ) carefully and not get too excited. I have a question and some obeservations. Question. Are the 11 ground stations together aveaging 2K per day or are each of the 11 averaging 2K per day. ( makes a difference ). OK so on with the observations ( asbestos boxers are being worn ). 1) Disseminating information in this fashion is fine for the hardcore shareholders but it does us ZERO good with the rest of the planet. We need to get this out in news releases. 2) The number of minutes may look big but lets convert it to $ before we start whoooping and cheering. assuming 7K guatemala and 2K from all ground stations that 7K + 2K = 9K per day which is 270K per month in MINUTES. I hope you can see where I am coming from. If we are charging $1 a minute from Bosnia and Guatemala ( unlikely ) then that is 270K if we are charging 10c per minute (again unlikely ) then it is only 27K. 3) What do the company mean by engineering phase for the h323 piece ? It has been in this state for 6 months. Does this mean we are still breadboarding /designing or are we in the software testing stage. 4) Why are we not touting and screaming from the hills about the remote update capability. This is BIG. Dont get me wrong I think the CEO message was very positive and sorely needed. I just think that the company needs to do a heck of a lot more to get the message out to those who will become the NEW investors who will be the ones who will help fuel our next rally. We need NEW MONEY and NEW INVESTORS to get us kicking that will not happen until we get the news out to the rest of the world. Martin Smitih
