Hi Tman, and you are not butting in! If our understanding of the access to custom, revenue-generating features is, in fact, via a high speed, secure, dedicated, fiber-optic line, then why do people here still tout this as an issue which will benefit from the hysteria in INTERnet stocks? If our main hope of success for FNTN is that investors will mistakenly buy stock, thinking it will soar when Amazon does, we have some serious thinking to do. I am of the opinion that there will be a severe correction in internet issues, due either to the plethora of new (fraudulent, overvalued, bulls--t) "flyers" which will devalue the sector, or from some regulatory body which will find a way to get the "front-running" brokers back in line. The strength and value of FNTN is in its stand-alone posture and marketing to businesses which could care less about how well ebay is doing: they have WORK to be done, and FNTN will be seen to help them do it better, faster, and cheaper. That's a bottom-line decision based on the present (read near future <G>) value of FNTN's services, not a pie-in-the-sky purchase of stock based on future revenues or the "new paradigm" for INTERnet issues. As much as I wish I had invested in the internets for the short-term run-ups, I'm happier with FNTN for the long run. Just not too long, please. All the best, M.
