OT - Two news stories - the first one blows me away unless I'm missing something? Let's say they bill $60 per month for each customer (35,000)= $25MM annually and Alltel paid $1.4billion? Alltel announced that it would purchase Aliant Communications in a $1.4 billion stock deal. Alltel offers local, long-distance, cellular and Internet access. Alltel said the acquisition will widen its service area and give it a greater capacity to provide bundled service. Aliant's wireless network consists of 290,000 subscribers in Nebraska. Its wireline service area includes Lincoln, Neb., and 22 counties in Southeast Nebraska. The company's customer base also includes 10,000 paging subscribers and 25,000 Internet customers. BellSouth has been denied its appeal of guidelines that keep the regional Bells from entering the long-distance market unless their local markets are opened to competition. A Federal appeals court agreed with the FCC's rejection of BellSouth's application to provide long-distance service in South Carolina. BellSouth contended that the law violated the constitution because it singled out particular companies. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decided that sufficient grounds for the law existed and that the FCC had justifiably rejected BellSouth's application because the company did not show that no qualifying applications for access had been made by rivals to offer local service.

There is uncertainty that we can keep the contracts and revenue as this is a competitive business that changes daily. Steve: I think that this is one of the reasons why the IXC deal is potentially so important. Increased profit margins will allow DCI to become a real player in this market because we can compete while still attaining profitability. This margin advantage is vital to both retaining contracts and procuring new contracts. Thus, the value of IXC may seem a bit intangible right now (as evidenced by the lackluster response to the announcement), but it has the potential to propel DCI to the next tier. This along with the positioning that we are achieving in the European market makes DCI increasingly attractive. And as the pieces begin to connect, and operations ramp up, I see no reason why DCI can't command a PREMIUM price. I think that the potential revenues growth over the next year is staggering. I intentionally have avoided making guesses because I think that it would just be interpreted as hype. But if DCI can accomplish the task of assembling the infrastructure to handle all of the current, pending and future contracts, I believe that you will be amazed at where DCTC is headed. PA
