For what its worth:

 
   "TV Channel 10 later learned that Tom
Walker had neglected to pay Coyote Web services for the use
of their lines and Access1 had been 'disconnected'. So Tom
had lied to the folks in TV land. "

 
Coyote Web had no lines, they had nothing to offer and Tom found that out after the fact. Tom was working very hard to defray the costs of our physicaly owned POP's..

 
"(e.g. he currently owes $90,000 to Coyote Web of Arizona
who has shut down his web access lines.) The loss of internet lines caused the problems. "
In my opinion the 90,000 was over inflated by Bill Calimia, the one who reported to News 10. I personally seen both operations, Let me ask you this Where is Coyote Web now, if anything was a shell game that was the shell game that Tom got duped into.

 
"03/31/00 - Email server down.
etc.
04/01/00 - Up, down, up, down, etc.

04/22/00 - Email working again"

 
Access1 had one of the most rock solid mail systems around, had things not got so bad it would have remained one of the best. I know that personally, I designed part of it. I think when it was turned over to BeWell there people had no clue how to scale that system with as many users as it had.

 
I hope Tom is doing better with the new access1, he DID get a raw deal with how things were handled, months prior to the bankruptcy. I think he depended to much on Tess to maintain the POP's, and the price she settled for on the Access1 owned T1's were over priced. On top of all that, Look at the huge shakeup in the tel-com at that time. That alone was what set back Access1. 

 
In my years working for Tom I know he did the best with what he had. From the outside it may have looked like Tom was a crook, but from the inside all I seen was the crooks who took him.

 
I currently work for one of the biggest companies in the world, I developed one of the worlds biggest networks between 2000 and now, and I would not think twice about giving it up to work for Tom again. I left Tom in 1999 only because I had a family to support, and I could see that things had gotten bruttle. It was the middle of the dot BOMB bust for god sakes! Put that in your perspective.
