<< Look at Winstar, Teligent, Nextlink and compare facilities, customers, etc.. ARTT is trailing the pack. >> At least with regard to BBFW deployment NXLK isn't even out of the gate yet, so give ARTT some credit: they're a distant third but not in last place.

Edward and Obewon. . . .Broadband Wireless, in my opinion, will be standing alone in the end along with digital fibre optics. . .as the choice of the new generation. xDSL is obsolete before it has even started. . .And analog will never be able to do what digital via fibre or microwave can. My play on ARTT is primarily based on it being the only PURE PLAY Broadband Wireless that has achieved success in Portland, Seattle and Phoenix and has now been given the dough to continue signing the most lucrative markets, due to their jump on wireless product for business customers. Winstar, Teligent, Nextlink, Westel, Sprint and others may have 'some' broadband wireless out there and that is fine. But this game is about "investor perception." When fibre optics became the buzz word. . .every company with those two words in their description were bid up. Last year, every stock with the words E-Commerce saw a big runup. Same with broadband internet, xDSL, online music, online brokerage houses. . . heck, some of the online brokerage houses that were bid up several hundred percent turned out to be out of business. . . but the mobs still bought in. Contrary to popular belief. . . today's high-tech stock traders don't really care whether a company has the best business model or financial structure. They want the PURE PLAY leaders. And they want the ones that the biggest companies have invested in . . .ARTT now has QWST and LU heavily invested. . . .that truth alone is worth perhaps a years worth of earnings, facilities, customer bases or working capital. I am a stock trader. ARTT is a great trade from . . .what? 5 or 6 bucks or so. Sell one-third and get all your money back?. . .hold two-thirds long into next season's mania?. . . It's hard to lose when you keep getting in at the bottom. Rande Is
