Here is a post from the Nextel thread. The next to last paragraph talks about useing VOIP technology from Isreal and implies that this technology is just starting to gain a foothold. Trying to add something positive to a depressing situation. I held Nextel for a long time before it paid off and now I'll be doing it here. It was much easier with Nextel who is fully reporting and has excellent, deep pocketed, management behind it. Just posting this for what it is worth. Good Luck to all. --------------------------- To: Ken Benes (7828 ) From: Frederick Smart Wednesday, Oct 7 1998 9:39PM ET Reply # of 7838 Ken: >>Credit crunch, loss of liquidity = downturn in construction = slowing of growth in nextel. Any confirmation of this and nextel = 15 or less.>> All I know is that we added 45 phones on our network last month. Have orders for 35 more this week alone. Expect to be over 400 phones sometime in the first quarter of '98; 1000+ mid year. Opening pods in three other areas of the country will accelerate the growth. We are making money and adding to our specialty teams covering several areas: telecom, internet, websites, referrals, services, administration, fullfillment, buying/selling services, residual management, etc. Our network marketing models are working. Service is fine. Trust is growing. People our happy. I know Arnie and you guys don't have a clue as to what we are doing. I won't bore you with an explanation. We'll just keep stumbling along as we populate our internet-based trust/service portal concept that is driven and accelerated by the use of Nextel phones. Nextel has more hand on power for us than the Internet right now. We are looking forward to coding with Motorola's new html code which will allow us to use our Nextel units to access targeted areas of websites and have sports, news, weather, prices, anything read back to us via automated voice. I have my email read back to me in automated voice for FREE. We use voice over IP technology from Israel which really blows people away: 99 fax on demands, 99 voicemail boxes, 9 way caller conferencing, up to 9 subconferences, caller wait, caller hold, caller ID, virtual assistant that beats Wildfire & Portico, background music, caller forward, three follow-me numbers - all for just $14.95/mo and 4.9 cents per minute nationwide. Works great with the new i1000 phone. The internet at your fingertips has arrived. The stock price reflects disaster, but progress is being made.
