Tim, Thanks for sharing your research. I spent a few hours looking into it tonite. What sounds too good to be true may end up being just that. If the release were timed with a contract or two it may have a more credible appearance. I plan on following it because if the technology can deliver what it claims it will be good news for consumers, line-of-sight limitations notwithstanding. Regards Stew

Tim: The 2Mbps data rate advertised in the AMPD news release is nothing special for broadband wireless equipment (CAMP, DMIC, and all MMDS/LMDS component manufacturers make similar or higher performing line of sight transmitters/receivers). The news release was written to generate the maximum hype by referring to 35 times dialup speeds. The float is very small (2 million shares), which will make AMPD tricky to short, but there is really nothing that justifies a 25 times sales valuation. Best regards, Bernard Levy
