Eric, VoiceStream sounds interesting as an acquisition candidate for WCOM. I haven't followed VoiceStream, but do know that after the acquisition of Aerial, Hutchison Whampao (of HK) still owns 23.4% of VSTR, TDS owns 14% and Sonera (of Finland) owns 8%. Hutchison (Li Ka Shing) has very good connections in China. Would this acquisition help WCOM in getting into China's telecom market (if Hutchison ends up owning some WCOM)? A VoiceStream acquisition may face less hurdles both in the US and in Europe. Your comments would be appreciated. Anthony
