Exchanging Bandwidth Views

Just a quick note, for what it’s worth … I think your August issue is excellent, the best I’ve ever seen (and, no, not because I’m quoted).

Anyway, I especially liked all the coverage on bandwidth exchanges. I weigh the value of publications based on how many articles I feel I need to share with persons in other parts of our company to better understand our business. Usually, that’s one article from any given issue of a publication (at most). More than half of the articles in this PHONE+ fit that criteria.

Anyway, your magazine continues to get better and I thought it worth mentioning that someone is noticing.

Useful & Superb

I have been passed your journal and find the content superb.

The Source Book has provided very useful information indeed. However, I have a question. Do you know who prints (maybe you) a journal like this for the European market?

Editor’s note: In July, we printed our first International Buyer’s Guide. It contains the same kinds of information as in our national version.

Close to Serving the Pie

Regarding Tara Seals’ August 2000 “Taking Stock in Equity,” our company, the American Telecom Network
(ATN, www.callatn.com), is perhaps the only telecom organization that has right now, in place, a signed buyout agreement from a major carrier. The agreement specifies the multiple to be paid and the revenue trigger level that must be reached.

We are moving closer and closer to that trigger level. We need a few good agents to help put us over the top. When the buyout occurs, all ATN agents will have a piece of the pie. This is not pie in the sky. Unlike many dreamers out
there, our buyout agreement is a fact.
