Thanks Tim, but what about the Nikkei? Last I saw, it was up 140+ and the Hang Seng was rebounding into positive territory. Of course, I could wake up tomorrow and see the Nikkei down 500 and the Hang Seng down 300 the way the market has been lately. Headfake??? The Juke??? The Studder-Step??? JR

Yes this is worth watching. The various telcos are now rolling out. Glenn Sprint<FON.N> to launch all-in-one service January DALLAS, Dec. 7 (Reuters) - Sprint Corp. <FON.N>, the United States' third largest long-distance carrier, on Monday said big business customers can begin signing up for its new integrated communications technology in January 1999. The new service, which Sprint calls ION, for integrated on-demand network, is designed to link together voice, data and video networks on one system, reducing the cost of buying, operating and running communications networks by up to 25 percent. Under the plan, Sprint would install and upgrade network equipment free of charge to companies with a minimum of five high-speed data lines known as T-1s, billing a minimum of $1500 per month per line, a company spokeswoman said. An ION test customer has been greetings cards company Hallmark Cards Inc. Hallmark has used ION to connect its local/long distance, video, Internet and data networks to ION to simplify telecommunications, reduce costs, and get additional bandwidth. The Sprint ION network is based on Cisco Systems <CSCO.O> equipment and uses technology more akin to the Internet than to traditional telecommunications systems. Sprint will announce software and services partnerships for the system in early early 1999. The company intends to deliver the service anywhere that T-1s are available from the local phone company.
