(Editorial Note:  BellSouth's internal TTM network is so advanced that Joe ended up answering next year's announcement concerning the resurgence of interest in this technology.  For more information on TTM, please refer to the background technology.)

Tachyon Transmission Mode provides immediate InterLATA relief because the traffic never actually leaves the LATA. Our full TTM network is already deployed and transmissions have already been sent and received. The deployment of TTM was accomplished 2 years ago enabling us to beat the industry to market. All our Frame customers have actually been served via TTM. We were able do this via a renegade mission stealing the technology off a passing Borg ship. The industry will move to TTM. Resistance is Futile.
