Hi Mark: Yes, CAWS got an investment from BANX into their company to have the rights to certain markets. But, CAWS does not get any real revenue until after BANX exercises an option for each market and that is after BANX accepts the operation of the system, agrees it meets specs, etc... Thus, they don't HAVE to accept any of the markets at all, and once they do they have 2 years to start selling services and thus generating new revenue. CAWS cannot offer service on their own in those markets unless BANX rejects them or after their current 5 year contract ends. CAWS has some markets that BANX has no interest in, but needs to have a program provider (such as JA's TeleQuest) to provide programming.

BANX has to exercise a certain number of options in the $9-$15 range as they accept each maket which, in itself, will begin to raise share price. Once all markets have been optioned then BANX will have a significant share of CAWS stock (something like 40%, but that is a guess) and then would be in an easy position to buyout CAWS.

Hope this helps.
