* 2ND CENTURY CEO REVEALS PLAN BEHIND OFFICE CLOSURES 
Network ASP 2nd Century Communications this week announced a corporate
reorganization, which resulted in the closure of five offices and an 
overall reduction in headcount. John Prisco, president and CEO of 2nd 
Century, attributes the scaling back of operations to April's downturn 
in the capital market. Under its new strategy, 2nd Century will focus 
its efforts on 12 U.S. cities, with three additional markets being 
served via remote.

A recent study by The Phillips Group (Parsippany, N.J.) predicts large

from the research sector, which indicate the small to mid-sized market 
will drive the ASP industry into the future.

reputation of an ASP? This is just one of several topics ASP insights
discussed in a recent conversation with Traver Gruen-Kennedy, 
chairman of the ASP Industry Consortium.
