Bob - re: the announcement. Just woke up, saw the "news". I'm going to speculate and hopefully won't be disappointed.

I'm going to (rose tinted glasses) guess that this is a move to unlock the link to third parties. FON's first position has always been an impediment and I believe we all believe the link will get acquired by someone. MSFT?

FON as an early investor probably stands to make a lotta dough if the company goes at a decent price. And perhaps some of this has something to do with the fact that all telcos (FON, WCOM etc.) are having difficulty.

Perhaps FON is going to shed or downsize and focus on pcs which is a good biz.

Idle speculation...I'm going to check Raging Bull now.
