I take that back. I should have said that it is my studied opinion that Jim Fleming is not _entirely_ demented, but is a paid agent provocateur of the U.S. telco industry... Obviously the man acts demented some of the time but I urge people to be aware that he can be quite lucid when he wants to be and he should not be dismissed as a simple lunatic. Don't let him manipulate you into working on his agenda. If you are in government, take the time to seek out opposing opinions so that you have something to weigh Fleming's statements against. And if you are in the Internet industry, take the time to do some work in the political arena because if you don't the telco monopolies will rig the game in their favor as they have in the past. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: michael at memra.com http://www.memra.com - *check out the new name & new website* -------- Logged at Tue May 19 04:04:10 MET DST 1998 ---------
