Hi Chris; Maybe you're right. Let's hope. MTON News Monday November 16, 8:10 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Metro One Telecommunications Licenses db-One Data Retrieval Engine to Compaq Services India for Intranet Directory FAIRPORT, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1998--Metro One Telecommunications, (Nasdaq:MTON - news) announced today that its Database Software Division has licensed the db-One™ retrieval engine to Compaq Services India, a unit of Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ - news). Compaq Services India will use db-One as the database component for an intranet system it is implementing for Tata Teleservices Ltd. (TTL), the telco company for the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. db-One, which performs sub-second retrieval of full text data from multimillion record databases, will initially be used to access White Page directory information for the state of Andhra Pradesh. Listings from other Indian states provided by the Department of Telecommunications will be integrated into the application in the near future. ''Compaq Services India, a Worldwide Prime Integrator for Windows NT, provides networking and infrastructure solutions from architecture and design through deployment, support, and ongoing management,'' commented Shankar Krishnan, manager, Compaq Services, Inc. ''db-One's ready to deploy system is a boon to our TTL intranet implementation because it provides very rapid, accurate access to data, and is easily implemented. It would have been difficult or impossible to create this mission critical application with another set of tools. It is so successful we are already exploring other joint applications.'' With a powerful full text search engine that supports Boolean, wildcarding, fast prefix, radius, numeric, and phonetic searches, db-One is constructed to provide sub-second data retrieval solutions for on-line directories and catalogs, as well as electronic commerce and VAR applications that require high-speed access. The db-One system consists of three main components: the db-One authoring system for indexing and compressing data, the db-One search engine, and the db-One server. db-One is a component solution for the Sun Solaris™ and Windows NT™ platforms and meets COM and JavaBean™ standards. Metro One's Database Software Division is a member of the Compaq/Digital Association of Software & Applications Partners (ASAP) program. ''Compaq's use of db-One for high-performance, full-text search is a great endorsement of its capabilities,'' said Mike McCourt, vice president of Metro One's Database Software Division. ''Compaq's role as a value-added reseller in India expands our product reach and provides Compaq with a powerful database solution for their Services business.''
