Carolyn F-- Help me out here--I wasn't aware the PCNTF is involved with wireless internet. Are they? I have been looking for a play in this area as well. One company I have been looking at is Golden Forture (GFX)--it's a Canadian company that claims to have a wireless internet deal in China. In China the most important factor is credibility (assuming there's a business). My past experience doing deals there tells me that there are a lot of smoke and mirrors operations--everything is not what it seems--land of mystery and all that. But legal system are a joke and so forth. So I am trying to get a handle on whether this operation is real or not. Do keep me posted on your progress and I'll let you know about mine.

I asked an Indian doctor friend about the phone system in India. He did say the hard wire phone system is a mess and government owned. Everyone is getting cell phones, which are privately owned companies. But cellular phones don't deliver the internet. At least in the U.S., I hear the consensus is that wireless internet will be a distant third behind DSL & cable. So who know what will happen. But when the phone system was privatized in Mexico, big improvement were made quickly. I don't know if the phone systems are being privatized in India. PCNTF's price movement is completely irrational & unpredictable. It breaks through support like an anvil. I'm holding for at least 3 years with possible short term trades of a portion of my shares. My God, since X'mas they have moved into two entire new countries. I don't think China is really open to foreign ISP's yet. Be patient! Think of the potential.
