Agreed - normally dilution would be a factor but with Paul Allen and MCI, you know the shares are not going to be traded. Demand for the 13% small float will be enormous once the word gets around. This service and company are known in only small parts of the country. There will be more share buyers and analysts as it rolls out in each new area.

Nice to see MCOM printing $20 I was accumulating a few months ago when they started building in New York City, and am glad they are finally getting more industry recognition and support. The NYC experiment must be showing some signs of success, or MCI would not have bothered. MCOM fits in nicely with the wireless stuff that WCOM didn't get out of the recent SKYT purchase, so it all makes sense. The fact that Paul Allen jumped in too is no surprise as MCOM has gotten tons of past support from the MicroSurfs who love MCOM in Seattle. One of the "tricks" that MCOM is learning in New York is to mostly put repeaters at intersections, as the mid block repeaters are basically useless. This may cause a minor design layout change, but adapting to local conditions is in it's nature.
