Ron, Do you really believe they will buy back shares? IMO, it was a red herring. They pulled out all the stops to help stabilize the share price. Most companies that announce buybacks don't follow through with a full buyback and some buy back none. They'll put the money where it gets the greatest return, buyback or not. CF Rebel

Ron, They did not say anything about the stock buyback. They were not asked about it in the questioning either. Doug

Hi Ron, I guess they buyback to boost their own share in what they believe is to be a tremendous success story. That they, as someone else posted recently, paid all construction costs of their Alantic crossing fiber with the sale of the first 10% of its capacity, demonstrates the nature of their guidance to believe and DO this stock buyback.
