Hawaii, please help me to understand this better - "Actually, this price squeeze does nothing but make IDT's prepaid card business more profitable." My assumption is that call card prices would go down. Maybe they won't, but how would they become more profitable?? "The domestic ld market is not one that a price war will have any impact whatsoever on IDT's profitability except for an upward one." I guess I'm thinking more in terms of IDTC's ownership of NTOPs profits. My assumption is that NTOP's regular domestic call price will be lowered to continue to attract people away from the more familiar Telcos. (prices of web voice chatter, click2talk, web yellow pages, etc. I suppose can be priced at a premium due to the ease of use, anonimity, and so forth.) How is this also an upward one? thanks in advance, Diamondhead
