To Neal Bernard:
you said:

"QWST is in a tight situation not having "the last mile". you can have all the infrastructure in the world, but without the last mile to the home or office they are at the mercy of the baby bells."

I agree with you, but ESPI doesn't have a big market share compared with other similar small companies (only about 80,000 customers if I'm not wrong). One of its competitors, which has half a million customers, is trading at about $37/38 right now.

ESPI has lots of much bigger competition in the Northeastern metropolitan markets where it is trying to gain a foothold, too. As executives of major phone companies have pointed out, "there are hundreds of companies out there like ESPI."
