About The Developer
F/X Communications was founded in Denmark
in 1996 by Bjarne Jensen. Mr. Jensen is a professionally trained
Software Engineer with over 15 years of computing experience.
For the last six years he has been at the center of communications
programming in one of the leading companies on Denmark's data
communications scene.
Those years focused on providing online solutions for European
businesses ranging from Videotex in the Netherlands to setting
up home banking protocols for progressive Danish banks. His expertise
was indispensable to the Danish Diatel Project and, most recently
he was a key figure in the development of public Internet access
capability provided by TeleDanmark.
When asked why he decided to eave after six successful years,
Mr. Jensen responded:
"The explosive interest in the Internet and World Wide Web
coupled with the immediate acceptance of my InJoy Dialer led me
to the conclusion that the time was right to strike out on my
own. It was a tough decision to resign my previous position wich
was both exciting and challenging but this just seemed like a
most opportune time to form F/X Communications".
