Gabor - Ask me again after the launch. I can't really tell what the significance will be at this point. You cannot discern much by looking at the web site (office.com). However, I have a gut feeling that WinStar is going to put a lot of emphasis on this and that Office.Com will be launched with a good deal of fanfare. As you know, WCII's direct, highly-targeted marketing approach is effective in terms of selling telecom services but doesn't do much for broad name recogition. I think the millions of dollars of advertising they got from CBS will change that, although we don't know yet how closely Office.Com will be associated with WinStar. Between the Office.Com launch, and the news that WCII is preparing to place an order for $100 million worth of P-MP equipment...well, things just never looked better to me.
