Peppe, I tend to agree with ZO. I think even TM is smart enough, <vbg> to understand that bigger is often better and that consolidation in the telco space is the name of the game. Also that there are too many new technologies ( ATM, IP, Optic, Wireless ) for any one company to be No 1 in all.
The fight for No1 position will be quite bloody and cut throat I think, as most of these fights are.
I think TM is realistic. He believes in his technology, wireless and ATM and is simply repositioning himself for a bigger fight.
I am not sure you can call this defeat.Could be just as well be called change of strategy.
For example, El president went from a long haired, marching down the streets of Moscow, ca. 1960s, leftie, democrat, to a right winger, welfare cutting, non-tax-raising, dyed in the wool republican very successfully. He adopted their methods ( the Republicans').
Would you call that defeat? Maybe....for some. Most Americans however think he is a winner and they re-elected him.
So perhaps you may be in a minority position now Peppe.

All of a sudden NN bashers are gone. What does that mean?
LOL. It means the tape has turned and NN is finally admitting defeat by selling to a bigger competitor. Great news for the longs.
