Don, re: There will always be competition. The question is if they can keep ahead of it. Just like any company or any internet. Its who had the farthest vision, the ingenuity and the technology to keep going.

To restate the opinions of many, the added FNTN dimension, if they can pull it off, is the unification of services. If a corporate user is really feeling the need for many of the services ( distance learning, training, data mining, etc) then the upper hand is gain by a quality FNTN sales force. Many corporations will be comforted by the Siemens involvement and possibly others?!? To get many services bundled for a fair to favorable price will put FNTN in the driver's seat. Coolhandlukes's post is about another niche player.

The old IBM dominated because clients trusted them and because the compatibility was assumed. For particularly the smaller and mid sized client, this is new technology. MOST vendors of the individual services will appear as new unproven entities. The Siemens tie will help with the trust issue.

IMO our folks have the vision and hopefully the ingenuity(tech and marketing)to be much more than the one that "keeps going". Whether we hit a 5 bagger or go to the moon, I am confident that I will be here as long as there is no catastrophe. If this seems like hype I'm sorry. I am just feeling excited, hopeful and thankful at the end of a prosperous year.

Best Regards,
