<< Will the ratio of conversion of KIWT stock be equal to the expected IPO of Level 3? >>

i don't know. right now the market cap is $5.4B which includes the $1.2B expected from sale of energy assets, the as-yet unsold coal mining, the toll road in california, the telecom assets, the stake in RCNC, the MFS-alum management team, and a business plan (QWST's business plan actually). winging it, one could easily arrive at a book value of over $20 a share. we'll get a better sense once a prospectus is published. right now there's a 3% float so the price might be a little high. QWST's market cap is around $7B.

how quickly can L3 build out? i'm skeptical they could do it any faster than QWST: most all of QWST's trenches were dug by railcar-based equipment under pretty optimal conditions, most of the rights-of-way were secured (cheaply) before the first fiber went into the ground, and they have a world-class installation organization.
