Not trying to spin a downer onto the thread but playing ball with Msft might not always be so much fun as it appears at first glance. Current status of the last ticker tape parade I watched for a Msft JV: Message 11066590 (Yes, I know; it's different this time <ggg>.) I wish the best of luck to GBLX and MSFT with this venture but I'll remain a little professionally skeptical until I see the actual fruit of the deal starting to ripen. (Actually, with MSFT and SoftBank owning less than 5% of the deal, it might be a non-issue, anyway. What's that saying about "a little opening and a big pry bar"?)

Does anyone think GBLX share price will rise appreciably before the 22/23 Sep approval by GBLX and FRO shareholders? I think it may linger in the mid to low 20's. Also, GBLX gets added to the NAS 100 tomorrow. That should help keep support at these levels. Fez

Conference Call replay numbers: The first one is for Investors and Analysts only. US: 800-633-8284 International: 619-812-6440 Reservation#: 13115435# It is a short CC, but has a few interesting parts. About 19 minutes into the call the issues raised by Barron's are laid to rest: pricing is 2 to 3 times higher than Barron's stated. The article was "just wrong." The second one is for The Press and Financial Analysts. US: 800-633-8284 International: 619-812-6440 Reservation#: 13066536# This call is much longer and more detailed. I would say the theme is "More than just a network." I highly recommend that everyone listen (at least once) to both calls. (And of course, read all of the company's SEC filings.) This is huge!
