<<<If DGIV lands just a few of the contracts that they are pursuing, a company like AT&T would consider buying them out. >>>> Why? AT&T will establish service in the same countries before DGIV ever does. They actually have signed contracts... perhaps with the same companies that DGIV had "agreed" to partner with. Oh well, you snooze, you lose. Could DGIV be busy scrambling to try to replace former "partners" now? AT&T can beat DGIV in name recognition, service, and most of all price. They can run the IP service at a loss for as many years as they want. Can DGIV do the same?

Don't think there's going to be any room left for out little penny stock DGIV AT&T Launches New Internet Protocol Services NEW YORK (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. (T - news), the nation's largest long distance company, has unveiled several new services it hopes will encourage the adoption of Internet Protocol telephony services. AT&T introduced AT&T Global Clearinghouse, which will act as a central point of contact for Internet service providers (ISPs) who want to provide phone-to-phone IP Telephony services to up to 140 countries worldwide. IP Telephony services transmit voice traffic over networks based on Internet standards. By joining the AT&T Global Clearinghouse, ISPs can avoid the time and expense of negotiating and managing numerous agreements with other ISPs, AT&T said. The Clearinghouse will post the rate each ISP charges to terminate calls in its country and then offering those rates to all other ISPs that wish to send calls. The Clearinghouse also handles the related routing management, settlements, billing and administration, allowing member ISPs to save on staff and administration costs, AT&T said. ''AT&T strongly believes that IP is the unifying protocol for transforming the telecommunications industry worldwide,'' said Kathleen Earley, vice president of AT&T Internet Services. ''These actions will help jump-start IP Telephony, which has enormous potential for networking around the globe. Our goal is to make voice over IP as easy to use as today's telephone service,'' Earley said. AT&T also launched two trials of Voice over IP Virtual Private Network (VoIP VPN) service, to be conducted in coming months. One trial is an internal AT&T test, which will network corporate locations in six cities worldwide. The second is with a major multinational financial institution. Virtual private networks allow companies to transmit information across a secure location on the Internet. Also, AT&T and the International Computer Science Institute will establish the AT&T Center for Internet Research, which will perform basic research on future Internet architectures. The Center will be created in association with the University of California at Berkeley. Sure is nice to see a REAL company making progress in the IP arena,, DGIV stuck in the mud and sinking deeper.............
