Wayne - here is some more D.D. on DDEV/Eagleview - (WIRELESS INTERNET / GREATER THAN T1 SPEEDS / 1/10th of the PRICE) DDEV has been a shell for quite sometime. Check Edgar for financials and past history ( sec.yahoo.com ). News came out they were acquiring Eagleview Industries(http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990503/ny_distinc_1.html) but did not say much about the company. Found this web site and very interesting information about just what Eagleview does: tcsinternational.com Check this out for yourself. What a concept! It is no wonder DDEV has kept this under wraps until they complete the deal. The acquisition is subject to execution of a definitive acquisition agreement.

Such systems have global applications and are the only reasonable solution to third world countries where there is no telephone infrastructure. In India and China there are only two telephones per one hundred persons. Over one half of the world's present population has yet to make their first phone call. Two Way Wireless Internet communications is about to change all of that. The Wireless Solution In early 1997, the president of EagleView Industries, Inc., Michael Paolini met a 31-year IBM executive who was in charge of education for the Pacific Rim, including China and India. Brooks Freeman, the IBM executive convinced Paolini that there was a global need for a two-way solution that could only be done by wireless, since most of the countries in question had no significant telephone infrastructure. Based on his knowledge of the cable television industry, Paolini concluded that such a product would be cost effective in the domestic market as well. There was no hardware available for two-way transmission utilizing the protected licensed spectrum that was available in the United States. Paolini developed a system that would utilize the existing video envelope of licensed microwave transmitters, which resulted in Patent Pending S.N. 08/857,927 called “High-Bandwidth Signal Transmission System Using Video Signal Envelope”. The patent has been assigned to EagleView Technologies, Inc. the parent company of EagleView Industries, Inc. In the middle of this development process, Paolini became aware of cost effective hardware that could be utilized for two-way transmission at T1 speeds. Such equipment was available to operate in an unlicensed portion of the spectrum provided it was operated below maximum power levels authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). Moreover, there were corresponding portions of the spectrum available on a global basis. After intensive experimentation with the equipment, Paolini concluded that it would be possible to configure such hardware in a manner that would permit high-speed wireless service to as many as seventy two thousand subscribers from a single high speed Internet connection. The cost of illuminating such a service area is currently estimated at less than two thousand dollars per square mile. This is very competitive when compared to conventional cable or fiber optic cable, which can cost between five to twenty thousand dollars per linear mile. Paolini intends to patent the configurations, and assign such patents to EagleView Industries, Inc. DDEV - more DD US Patent 5,838,917 Here is more info on Eagleview (DDEV) 164.195.100.11 . United States Patent 5,838,917 Paolini November 17, 1998 Dual connection interactive video based communication system Abstract An interactive video based communication system provides apparatus and methods for user guided information retrieval in video frame format and transmission of the selected and retrieved information to a remote location for subsequent review and analysis. The storage of audio information in video frame format permits real time information compression allowing a one minute presentation to be transmitted in a fraction of a second.
