What do you think, Anthony? I'm waiting for the major analysts to chime in -- sort of surprised there weren't one or two reactions today, frankly. Tish William's reaction seems a bit simplistic and emotional -- I'd like to know a bit more about what's her rationale for being so apoplectic. -- Pete

Anthony. << WorldCom's Brute Strength >> Good post. I like this excerpt: "A long-distance play, just to get at a wireless move? Or, god forbid, a long-distance play just for the merits of a long-distance play." As JDN says, "Attornies delight". It has long seemed to me that the logical entity for WCOM to get into the wireless world via, is the VSTR/OMPT/AERL emerging merger. For the reason stated above. It seems it would be easier and cleaner than the FON/PCS thing. Disclosure: I hold OMPT & VSTR as well as WCOM. The above statement is sort of why. Someone (US or Europe) is going to acquire them (VoiceStream), IMO. As stated in prior posts, I think WCOM should be in wireless. Nextel's technology seems a bit out of the main stream. The Sprint thing is complicated. Would Sprint spin off PCS alone. That makes sense to me, but I don't know why Sprint would want to do that (also needs to be in wireless). The FON/PCS thing is ... that Attornies delight. Whew! - Eric -
