Re : Lower the price per minute and I'll buy GSTRF back.

A little "refresher" memo on how the world works ...

The reason that GSTRF is trading around $30 or $40 right now is (partly) BECAUSE the handsets cost $1500 and the minutes are priced at roughly $1.50.

IF ... GSTRF (or the service providers) announce tomorrow morning that they are reducing the retail price of the handset to $300, and the minutes to 65 cents, guess what that would do to the price of GSTRF shares ?

And furthermore ... given past experiences with watching prices of both high-tech "gizmos" and high-tech gizmo usage charges endlessly fall in price, will anyone (except the short sellers of G*) really be surprised if and when some prices are reduced ?

Jon.
