Stephen, along those lines, a while back one of the big three carriers came to us with a proposition, asking if we could optically scan the CDR records of their competitors for some major account prospects, in order to derive a profile of their line item costs. Since then, however, they've joined the ranks of those who are able to read comma-delimted downloaded files. [smiles]

But can sparky succeed <IOPL> Ambient Corporation and ITRAN Comm. Ltd.to develop system that supplies Internet Over Power Lines Related Items February 8, 1999 -- Ambient Corporation and ITRAN Communications Ltd. of Israel signed an agreement to develop a system that will allow Internet access through power lines. This cutting edge system will allow feeding Internet data at utility substations, sending data over power distribution lines and bridge between high voltage distribution lines, and local low voltage power lines. End users will benefit by not tying up their phone lines, and avoid phone charges for Internet access. The product is a joint development project between ITRAN Communications of Israel and Ambient Corporation. Along with ITRAN Communications proprietary technology, and Ambient's unique technology, the companies will offer a more cost-effective way to supply Internet access to homes around the world. "This is a breakthrough in Internet connectivity. Today, the fastest dial up connection from home is 56 KB per second. With the ITRAN Communications - Ambient product, data rate can be as high as 1.5MB per second, and scaling up to 10Mbps in the very near future'' says Avner Matmor, President of ITRAN Communication. "This is another application for our technology,'' says Dr. Yehuda Cern, Ambient's Chief Technology Officer. " Low cost bridging distribution transformers provides a breakthrough for utilization of medium power voltage power lines for high speed communication. Ambient's technology is adaptable to many applications. We proved it with our smart card development, and now we'll apply it in another huge industry such as Internet communications." About Ambient: Ambient Corp is a publicly traded company incorporated in the United States that develops smart card and related contactless technologies and systems. The company is also developing large memory smart cards for applications requiring secure, stored records. About ITRAN Communications: ITRAN Communications Ltd. (ITRAN), a designer of communications semiconductors, has developed a technology that enables low cost, high performance networks between electrical devices over power line and phone line. ITRAN's power and phone line modems create data, voice and audio networks between computers, computer peripherals, cable and xDSL termination points, TVs, set-top boxes and small office hubs. Aimed at the home networking, residential access and home automation markets, ITRAN chips enable "no new wires'', existing infrastructure networks between a wide range of electrical appliances and devices. At speeds of 10Mbps, 1.5Mbps, 50kbps and 7kbps, ITRAN's physical layer modems are extremely robust and lead the power line communications marketplace in price and performance.
