Rex, I'm sorry to have included so much 'off topic' info on a MCOM site but I must add one more item.. Because I think the speech of TI's CEO is so long you may not read it, here is a little excerpt of most importance.. "I've already mentioned the impact of digital cellular phones. Work is under way on the next generation of digital cellular technology - a generation that won't be limited to voice calls, but will offer people advanced features such as Internet access. With these new phones, we will have the capability to upgrade the phones' software by automatically calling the phone and downloading the upgrade over the wireless network - all by answering a call and pushing a button." MCOM will never be able to provide both cellular and Internet access to everyone... That is a huge negative. MCOM as a buyout? Possibly.. But why would they buy MCOM to get subscribers when they already have it with the Cellular subscribers? Every time I think of MCOM I see all these little boxes on light poles that must be installed and maintained.. That is a lot of overhead expense. (overhead/expense! no pun intended here!! <G>) This is just my opinion, of course.. <g> Ross
