Sowa will debut with an investigation of the feds' attempts to pay for Clinton's "universal access mandate," entitled "Is BBS Licensing Just Around the Corner?" It makes hair-raising reading. Frank is president of The Xavier Group, an international consultancy that has been providing strategic planning, forecasting, training, and development of business and communications systems for organizations since 1981. As a professional futurist and speaker, he is often hired by corporations to monitor and provide advisories of upcoming trends that may impact their operations. As a certified software consultant for Softarc's First Class, and a reseller for other companies, he configures customized BBS systems for organizations, complete with "regular content updates." Sowa is also founder and sysop of SEED.NET (412) 487-5449, "the online incubator" for small businesses, a seamless BBS-to-Internet (PPP) provider, with business start-up assistance and seed capital available online. Send e-mail to: franksowa@seed.net.com Having just checked my archival copy of my lengthy resignation letter, let me say that I resigned as a Boardwatch columnist on Weds. June 21 1995. One thing that troubled me about the "Is BBS Licensing Just Around the Corner?" was that the only quote in the article with a date attached to it was January 1994. ************************************************************************ The COOK Report on Internet For subsc. pricing & more than 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA ten megabytes of free material (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) visit http://pobox.com/cook/ Internet: cook@cookreport.com For case study of MercerNet & TIIAP induced harm to local community http://pobox.com/cook/mercernet.html ************************************************************************
