Gary -

Sorry but I'm not sure I understood your point. I mean firstly I'm not sure how good the new line number actually is. I would have thought it would have been a little bigger since this is a year when many new markets have opened up domestically and overseas - at least Japan and Holland but maybe they haven't started selling there yet.

Secondly the guy from Yahoo seemed to em to have a point about the actual number of buildings wired up or have we all missed something. I mean there is a bit of a difference between 8,000 buildings and a few hundred buildings.

OK 69,000 lines is a hell of a lot but there is this milenium marketing program and ...well you know I thought it might have made some sparks fly. Sure the on-net number is great and that will make some sparks with the margins but it's the building numbers that I'm thinking about and trying to rationalize.

Best regards,

L

Clarification: there was one court of appeals decision (dealing with universal access fees), two separate but related FCC proposals *under consideration* and a LOT of confusion about it all. Several reports to follow. Bottom line is that WinStar actually SUPPORTS the proposals, and holds the position that they will in fact benefit from them.
