Proposed news release for 2/1/99 if still in $7.50 area: " IFCI Announces Dismissal Of Liviakis Associates As PR Firm; Reiterates Expectation Of Record Revenues, Operating Margins, & EBTA Going Forward "................................ IFCI today dismissed Liviakis Associates as their PR firm stating that: " While they have served us well in the past, we believe it is in the shareholders best interests to establish a relationship with a different firm with the ability to project our true value and worth in the marketplace. For some time, we have been disappointed with the valuation of our company relative to others in our industry. We have concluded that the investment community needs to be provided with an increased awareness of our company's stature as an " internet infrastructure builder " offering, through fiber optics, the increased bandwidth so vital in todays information age. Of course, we remain a preeminent "one stop shopping" source for more traditional telecom industry applications. While seeking out a new PR firm, we would further reiterate that our 4 core subsidiaries envision revenues of up to 160% above those previously reported. We continue to aggressively pursue new contracts and expect announcements to made on this front in the near future. Lastly, we would again like to advise our shareholders and the investment community at large that our business is entirely within the US and should remain unaffected by turmoil & uncertainty in foreign markets ". Blah, blah, blah. Disclaimers blah, blah, blah For Chrissakes, this was off the top of my head in 3 minutes..C'mon IFCI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone see anything suggesting IFCI is building for QWEST Communications? Just reading these two bits. redherring.com And the growth appears to show no signs of slowing down. How's this for bullish: "The second quarter produced results that we believe the company can not only maintain, but expand upon in the coming quarters," said Mr. Kealy. Another source said the company has been talking with all of the major players who are building out their networks, including the likes of Sprint (FON), Qwest Communications (QWST) and AT&T (T), and that "investors should be very enthused by some upcoming announcements in the next couple of months." redherring.com It appears that Microsoft (MSFT) doesn't care how the Internet backbone of the 21st century is built, as long as it gets a piece of the action. In its latest Internet infrastructure deal, Microsoft has announced a $200 million investment in fiber-optic network company Qwest Communications (QWST), acquiring a 1.3 percent stake in the company. The strategic relationship will also allow Qwest to offer a range of business services based on the Windows NT platform over its IP network. Qwest is currently building out an 18,500 mile fiber-optic network, expected to be completed by the middle of next year. And while many believe the Qwest network will be an important part of the future broadband Internet, the company recognizes that you make money not by building a network, but by charging for services provided on that network.
