And as your cellular or PCS carrier adds more customers and gets a larger base to offset the buildiout, you will see their airtime minute rates come down to the point where you would just use your cellular phone rather than your home phone. I predict that by the end of 2000 you will see a giant crossover, especially if you can have full time online intenet access as well as free long distance. As I said a couple of months ago, AT&T cannot afford to spend the long distance dollars on a poor celluar system much longer. Once the AT&T shareholders realize that they are getting killed on the EPS because of this, they will be forced to stand up and deal with it. big problem is that most of the AT&T shareholders are people who got 100 shares in 1950 from their grandfatehr and never understood it or read anything about it, so they just hold it.

If I could only figure out how to hook my fax machine into my sprint PCS, I would really have something. Or if Q could develop a phone for mulitple lines like I need for business...hmmm Voop

Reading your posting reminded me of the complaint that when WCOM took over MCI they would leave unprofitable (non-WCOM target) markets. Their lack of mounting a marketing press might be their way of doing just this. Having read May RedHerring piece on WCOM (cover story), I am begining to see why WCOM is moving away from just carrying traffic to offering services at either end with carrying traffic being their hook. Their price will get to zero too. I've been wondering how WCOM could team up with Q for an all around win for me? Maybe thru GSTRF?
