October News Today is:

V.92 Technology – We recently completed the installation of a major hardware upgrade that will allow you to dial up to the Internet and surf faster because of the compression used by the modems.  In addition this upgrade eliminates the need for a second telephone line to take voice calls while you are surfing the Internet.  You will now be notified of any incoming voice calls and have an opportunity to take them while you are accessing the Internet.  All you need on your end is a V.92 compliant modem that costs less than $100. Jason Ayers our VP of Operations will be talking more about this and the technology behind it next month.

State Wide Access We are continuing to work towards the expansion of our statewide network to include local dial-up access numbers in most communities that are served by SouthWestern Bell. We are excited about the progress that we are making and will keep you posted as we open each new city.  We plan to expand our coverage and offer connectivity to many small communities under 5,000 populations without using toll saver or running up long distance charges.  If you would like to be sure your community or that of a friend is included write to me.

FullAccess is a bundled service allowing a company to buy a T-1 for voice and data.  There are 24 channels in a T-1 and they can be configured to allow 12 for voice and 12 for Internet access making the surfing speed 764K as an example.  (The channels can be configured uniquely for each customer)  By mid 2003 we should be introducing this new service.

At FullNet we are continuing to look for ways to better serve you and your needs from a dialup connection that works faster and more reliably to Business products for small to medium size companies.  You can rely on FullNet to keep you abreast of the Internet wave!

Introducing the New FullNet Partner Program

We are excited about the new Partner Program where we will be marketing our full portfolio of Internet products through businesses throughout Oklahoma.  To assist with this statewide expansion, we have hired an account manager who will work full time to assist with training, distribution, orders, tracking, and commissions.  A new compensation system has been implemented to reward our partners at three levels of participation.   It is our hope to create a direct incentive towards higher commissions for those that chose to actively market our products.

One product that is new to our partners around the state is our colocation sales.  As they come across customers that need to locate their Internet equipment in a location that provides a more secure foundation for their business, they should refer them to FullNet.

FullNet's million-dollar colocation facility was designed for a wide range of potential customers. Examples of current clients include a large CLEC occupying 500 square feet of caged space, a large satellite service provider, web hosting companies colocating one or more web servers and companies hosting web pages on FullNet web servers.  Additionally, we have companies that have colocated equipment in our facility to provide for data back-up and disaster recovery. 

FullNet has its own fiber facilities going across the street to the Southwestern Bell Central Office in downtown Oklahoma City.  Using this facility, we can fulfill any bandwidth needs from T-1's to OC-48's and beyond.  Also, within our building are over 20 telecommunications providers with whom you can connect, including Williams, MCI WorldCom, NTS and Cox.

Our facility is ideal for telecommunications providers, national/regional ISPs or web hosting companies. Our space can be expanded to over 10,000 sq feet.  It is designed to offer a unique approach to the demand for a telco-grade, carrier-neutral colocation facility in which to house the switches, computers, routers or modems needed to start or expand a presence in Oklahoma and on the World Wide Web. FullNet will customize space to fit any budget.
