ynot-- I mean a well-respected analyst on Wall Street. I think the recommendation is coming very soon. It is not a broker's recommendation, but an analyst's.

between earnings & convention, shorting may get tricky (while MCOM may not promo there, if they are mentioned even as part of WCOM's strategy, more longs will come.) ELEVENTH ANNUAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATION (WCA) CONVENTION July 12-14 -- Ernest Morial Convention Center -- New Orleans, LA This three-day event will offer speakers and exhibitors profiling MDS, LMDS, WCA, 38-42GHz, DTV, IP telephony, wireless local loop and convergence of fixed/mobile wireless communications.

The 12th annual show by the Wireless Communications Association (WCA) will be from July 12 to 14 in New Orleans. Sprint President for National Integrated Systems (NIS) Kevin E. Brauer is scheduled to speak July 12 about his company's innovative Sprint Integrated On-Demand Network (Sprint ION). He leads Sprint's efforts to enter local markets. He has worked at Sprint since 1983, previously serving as President of Sprint Business, which serves business and government long distance customers. On July 13, MCI WorldCom Chief Policy Counsel Jonathan B. Sallet will provide insights on his company's broadband access strategies, which (like Sprint's) are being enhanced by major recent deals to acquire MDS wireless spectrum. He develops and coordinates MCI WorldCom's public policy positions and oversees its advocacy to the federal government. Previously, he served as Assistant to Secretary Ronald H. Brown, and as Director of the Office of Policy and Strategic Planning at the Department of Commerce. Previously announced were other WCA '99 keynote speakers at the Morial Convention Center: AOL Executive Vice President for Global and Strategic Policy George Vradenburg, III, speaking on "The Future of Broadband Access"; NEXTLINK Vice President for Network Development Margaret Marino, who represents the largest LMDS license holder in the U.S. and speaks on "Broadband Access: Here And Now"; and Look President and CEO R. Scott Colbran, who speaks about his company's digital video services and high-speed Internet offerings in Canada. "Because five of the private sector's most relevant and successful executives will share their visions as keynoters," commented WCA President Andrew Kreig, "WCA'99 will be a pivotal event for broadband wireless access and the new entrants who want to foster productive relationships."
