Once you've tricked the phone company in to comming over and installing your phone by taking an unpaid day off of work and sitting around the house all day in your underwear watching re-runs of ``Days of Our Lives,'' you still can't get phone calls unless you tell someone your phone number. Usually, you just put your number in the phone book.

Lest we forget, Matthew 16:19 of the King James Bible: ``...whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.'' So, whatsoever thou shalt bind with the phone company shall be bound with GAT. Once you've created a GATEndpoint instance no one can contact you unless you place the instance in a GATAdvertService. As the class GATEndpoint realizes the interface GATInterface_IAdvertisable, the process of placing a GATEndpoint instance is the exact same process already covered in Chapter [*]. So, you know how to do this already.
