Probably so, unless there is some reason we are unaware of why no other companies have aggressively gone into this area. If a larger company comes by, they'll probably just make a offer to buy the company at a premium. At this point, that would be a shame as we just IPO'd and the stock stayed strong and improving to the very end. I would hope there was some press over the weekend increasing awareness of the company and more would see its value increase. A gradual consistent increase if far more valuable than a quick jump (though I'll take either).

Question,will they have another Telcom breathing down their neck to beat them out??? Invariably they will see competition. Fortunately, as investors in VRSA, we have four advantages at this point: 1) First to market with one-stop-shopping state of the art broadband (what a mouth full). Competition detailed in the prospectus does not have the comprehensive services that VRSA provides. 2) Competition is primarily government behemoths with copper cages as “assets” (indicates a constrictive cost structure). 3) Demand for broadband is rocketing ahead. Competitors and VRSA alike will have their hands full selling services, much less worrying about competition stealing clients. 4) Large installed base for data services (I'm talking about revenues here, not clients).
