I'm taking in the last of my MCOM short at 26 1/4 as I feel the downside is limited on an intermediate term basis. There's other cat's to skin out there.

What you say is also true. MCOM has not been spectacular in the media promotion market. In the select areas of placements of their original Ricochet modems, they are still practically unknown. But, if you look at the three primary service areas as test grounds, I think they have done well. Now with the faster speed, some financing. manufacture of the R2 modems, radio deployments, and a marketing team, there should be growing demand. Don't put the cart ahead of the horse. There needs to be all the factors in place before MCOM starts blowing their horn (my opinion). It would be a mistake for enticing users now, then be unable to deliver until the infrastructure is in place. You, I'm sure, have noticed the accelerated activity by other wireless servers to get ahead in this technology. From what I'What you say is also true.
