Robert,

Don't worry about SBC being taken over. SBC is going to buy one
or more CLEC's in the U.S. Our president Whiteacre is on a buying
spree and more will happen while we get into the long distance
market eventually. If we didn't get bogged down in the legal
entanglements, we would have bought a company such as "Sprint"
for a long distance additional to the company. Unfortunately, that
won't happen for a few more years.

I'm an employee of SBC and in the regulatory group of the holding
company. You should see what we have planned for product offerings
and acquisitions. Our stock will continue to go up for months to
come. You might hear of some company takeovers in a few months.

As for Pacific Bell, most of the top managers are already gone, replaced with Southwestern employees. I worked for P.B. for many years and it's about time their organization got a shake-up. The only place with more bureaucracy is the federal government. As for profits
and personnel: both will drop for at least another year.

Send your comments, and I'll try to keep you informed.
