I must be out in left field, but this seems like a slam-dunk shorting opportunity. Earnings will be negative, mom and pop are still signing up with AOL and the college kids have found NetZero. Businesses will still be using landlines, T-1's, and Frame relays. So, thinking that a premium service like MCOM will appeal to a large segment seems far fetched to me. I'm looking to nibble at a shorting opportunity as the latest hoopla and volume subsides. I'm not down on Paul Allen or MCOM as a service. There are just more appealing ISP solutions on a cost basis at this point. Regards Scott
