I visited their site www.nuestravoz.com and I'm very impressed with the site. I believe it will attract a lot of users!!!

BTW, Hawaii, do you happen to know if there is anything up with EzSurf.com and MySpaceOnline.com? or the Geneie.com? Thanks,

I'll give you this, you mentioned an emphasis on their ISP as being in the cards a while back. One thing I liked about the site in addition to what you mentioned is the link to several Spanish language newspapers. The site is very well laid out and, again, shows they did their marketing homework vs. just throwing something out there. The site is excellent! (I speak Spanish, so I was able to assess it quite well)

IDT's "Strategic Relationships"

I located a copy of Courter's briefing slides that he used at the CTI EXPO. The following is from the slide called "Strategic Relationships" It shows a chart with IDT at the top with branches to its three main business activities: Telecommunications, Internet, and IP Telephony. Below each branch are the names of IDT's actual or proposed Strategic Partners.

1. Telecommunications.

a. Frontier
b. Worldcom
c. Cable & Wireless
d. Pacific Gateway
e. LCI/Qwest
f. Union Telecard
g. RBOCs
h. Star Telecom
i. PTTs (nondisclosure)
j. LDDI

2. Internet

a. Deloitte & Touche
b. PSINet
c. Cox Cable
d. MailCall
e. GT Software

3. IP Telephony

a. Excite
b. Netscape
c. IBM
d. Yahoo!
e. Daewoo
f. Packard Bell
g. Geocities
h. Creative Labs
i. Marubeni
j. Quicknet

Comment: I will leave it to others more expert than I to comment on the significance of these relationships. I wasn't aware of several of them. I'm especially intrigued with the link to Cox, as Cox is at the forefront of developing and deploying IP Telephony services via cable. Courter told me yesterday that IDT was agnostic with regard to the "last mile" problem in providing a high bandwidth integrated data/telephony package to the individual consumer, but did allow that cable seemed to have the best chance (with wireless, such as LMDS, being a possible darkhorse candidate).
