All, I was thinking about the FNET IPO and what it may do to the FTEL price and realized I didn't understand fundamentally why a company wants to IPO a part of itself. I am sorry if this is too basic of a question, but thought the experienced people here may be able to answer this.Judith you asked why IPO? Great question, I dont know if this information will answer your questions directly but its worth posting for an FYI. Quoted from Price Waterhouse Page " Initial Public Offerings" "Going public." For generations of entrepreneurs, that has been the code phrase for expansion, growth and finally gaining recognition for their innovation and hard work. For some, it has also signified the beginning of a new and more complex business life, full of compromise, confusion and deferred reward. Market forces are leading entrepreneurs and managers to the equity markets in steadily increasing numbers. Low interest rates, the growth of mutual fund investing and a persistently buoyant market have encouraged small- and medium-sized businesses with high growth potential to consider taking the leap to public ownership. With many companies averse to debt and capital markets seemingly welcoming new equity issues with open arms, the appeal of "going public" is undeniable.
