To the Pack - Have been lurking for a month or so, and thought I'd make my own small contribution to the thread...I think this is a stock with serious potential. Here's the company website: samsys.com Had it a while back at $0.47 and had to sell for something brighter, but I'll be back in tomorrow. Let me know what you think.Good luck,JK

Yeah Spark that is great news. I too will hold out for bigger and better things from these guys. It is also comforting to see them underway on the 10 S-B. A fully reporting company goes a long way to increase investor confidence. The NR also stated that there are over 250 sites awaiting installation of their units. If I'm not mistaken these installations create residual income. When they wire an entire complex they have a monopoly on certain types of communications...and just like a cable bill they pay bi-monthly. BTW look for AQCI news tomorrow. Later...Bool

Spark here is some news from the Globe and Mail that makes mention of MDU and the growing market for high speed internet access in hotels. globetechnology.com Globe and mail wednesday. Internet in hotels Hotels have a new weapon of choice in the battle to attract business travellers. It is high-speed Internet access that can turn guest rooms into high-tech offices. At least four Canadian hotels now have systems that allow guests with Ethernet cards to plug in their laptops and link directly to all the Web and E-mail facilities available in their home office. The signals travel through special wiring that bypasses the hotels' phone network. Travellers have no need to reconfigure their computers or to tie up a phone line. The hotels are also putting the new technology into meeting rooms and, in some cases, even into restaurants. "Within five years," says Bill Harrison, general manager of the Radisson Suite Hotel Halifax, "every major metropolitan hotel will offer this or they are going to be left behind. The corporate traveller is going to be used to it and will expect it." The Halifax property launched high-speed Internet access in all its rooms in January. Guests pay $9.95 for unlimited use over a 24-hour period, plus any charges involved for faxing and printing. Across the country, the Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire, which has the same owners, launched a similar system in all its rooms a few weeks later at $13.95 for 24 hours. In Vancouver, the Sheraton Wall Centre has been working with a different set of technical suppliers to equip all 454 of its rooms with a system it claims is similar, but also the fastest on the market. It recently began levying a $15-a-day charge for the service, after offering it free for some weeks as a test. Meanwhile last week, the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel launched DataValet, yet another version of the same product. It costs $10 a day plus fax and printing charges. The Toronto hotel has initially wired 178 guest rooms and suites on business floors and will gradually extend to all rooms. It is now wiring its 36 meeting rooms. Business travellers won't be able to escape the Internet even when eating. The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel has put 16 high-speed Internet ports at "tables for one" in its Bistro on Two restaurant. There are also restaurant Internet search stations at the Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire. Various teams of technical companies are involved in the systems. All are busy beating the bushes to sign up other hotels. SolutionInc of Halifax, which developed the technology now in use in Halifax and Calgary, has teamed up with MDU Communications of Vancouver and with 3Com Canada. That group is currently installing an Internet system at the new Vancouver Airport Hilton and at the Newstead Hotel in Bermuda, and is talking to hotels across Canada. RoomLinX Inc in partnership with Cisco Systems Inc., which equipped the Sheraton Wall Centre in Vancouver, has also signed up the Delta Vancouver Suite Hotel. Also looking for new hotel customers are the partners involved in the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel project; they are Bell Nexxia, Nortel Networks, TravelNet Technologies and Elastic Networks. High-speed Internet technology for hotel rooms is in its infancy in the U.S. as well as in Canada. Tim Wilson, president of SolutionInc, estimates the feature is available at fewer than 50 U.S. hotels.

Spark: Looks like good news on T.DIO WHITE ROCK, BC, June 4 /CNW/ - Dion Entertainment Corp. is very pleased to announce that, after extensive negotiations, Glen Larson, one of Hollywood's most successful and creative television producers, has agreed to join forces with Dion Entertainment to launch a new television production company, Larson-Dion Production LLC., to develop, produce and distribute interactive televised game shows in North America and to markets around the world. The plan is to give the new shows a competitive advantage over other game shows by allowing meaningful at-home viewer participation for substantial prizes. Mr. Larson is one of television's most prolific and respected producers, with some 26 hit series and pilots to his credit. Larson, whose production credits include, (The Fall Guy, Quincy, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., McCLoud, The Six Million Dollar Man, It Takes A Thief) has decided the time is right to take the plunge into high stakes television game shows. Mr. Larson stated, ''While I have always been a fan of television's more noteworthy audience participation shows (Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Hollywood Squares etc.), now for the very first time brand new technology makes it possible for the viewer at home to have as much fun and win prizes and cash as exciting as those being given away to a studio contestant.'' The bingo game show, described by Mr. Larson as ''A get rich show with laughs'', is intended to be played live across the country, both on television and via the internet. The first project for Larson-Dion Productions will be the development of a television game show involving the most played game in the world, ''Bingo''. The parties are currently developing the format for the show and Mr. Larson indicated that the pilot, which is a significant tool in marketing the production, will be completed soon. APA, on behalf of Larson-Dion Productions, is in talks with King World as well as several other networks. Management and control of the new company is shared equally between Dion Entertainment and Glen Larson Group LLC with Mr. Larson having a casting vote in creative matters that do not materially effect the company's finances. Dion Entertainment has agreed to fund initial start-up costs through a shareholder's loan which will be re-paid prior to any sharing of profits. After repayment of any shareholder's loans, Dion will receive almost three million dollars of the first eleven million dollars (US) of net income and 50% thereafter. Leo Dion, President of Dion Entertainment, commented after signing the deal with Mr. Larson: ''It is an honour to have someone as gifted and accomplished as Glen Larson working with us on a project that is so central to the Company's business plan. We feel especially privileged because Glen rarely enters into partnerships of this nature''. Dion Entertainment sees this new venture as a giant step toward its goal to be the largest and most diversified bingo entertainment company in the world. -0- 06/04/1999
