<i'm curious about 'unbooked' revenues though do you have a url referencing this?> It might be worded accrued as you said. I got this info listening to the conference call and I'm referencing this from memory. They said they took upfront money from all their operator and handset license holders and that it was used as the systems came online and users came on. The money was nonrefundable and had to be used within 2 years, but could also be used quicker. There was a conference call on VCall. corporate-ir.net I don't know where it is in print. The exciting thing was that many operators were going to just give the ability to use internet services away and count increased air time. That is versus the plan of selling special data usage. The advantage for giving it away, at least to PHCM was that new users would have no obstacle to start a data account. I agree, I don't feel you are against me, but I find it that you look for the faults more than the good. Probably I do enough of the later for both of us. I believe the market wants to be involved at nearly whatever the cost as this is so obviously the most exciting growth op going. Regards, Mark
