I do not think, but then again I have been wrong before, that Jay was
comparing VoIPSupply to LiveVoIP. I believe that he was comparing Mr.
Schelin's company to LiveVoIP in the early stages.

We have been around for a few years enjoying enormous growth in revenue,
profit, and overall size quarter after quarter. Comparing us to what
LiveVoip was in its early stages is like comparing apples to sandpaper.

I dont agree.  I have only orderd from them once but they delivered quickly.
They are selling hardware which doesnt have much room for markup but it does
have a whole lot more room than selling cutrate minutes.  Both business
models are based on volume but selling boxes has alot more room for margin
than minutes.
