<maintenance costs (which can sometimes be a gray area -- what is maintenance and what is expansion?)>

Better yet what if possibly the maintenance EXTENDED the life of the circuit, or INCREASED the bandwidth or functionanlity.

Don't know? Haven't heard? Can't say? Don't know anybody who can? Yet its already been classed as a fraud?

What I want to know:
1.) What was the rationale behind the capitalization.
2.) What was the items or items or particular expense category. (Ie Paper Clips = Fraud; Bettering circuit = Gray area)
3.) Only 5 Quarters? Wouldn't a $700 Million lessening on an expense line item raise an eyebrow? I see little difference 6 Quarters back as compared to 5 Quarters back?
