Standard & Poor's opinion of stock buy-back, positive and negative: The article found at MSN Investor also stated that the buy-back would impact GBLX's ability for further acquisitions. HMMMM! Further growth or support stock price.

Article quoted below:
Standard & Poor's expects Global Crossing to continue its aggressive strategy of network growth in the U.S. and overseas. Nevertheless, if the company exercises its right to use all or most of the $500 million to repurchase stock, it will have utilized most of its debt capacity at the current rating, Standard & Poor's said.
