This is strange: I don't want to spoil anyone's surprize, but i received something awesome from Global Crossing in the mail today. Now don't go starting any rumours: it is colour brochure with network maps and some text. There is nothing new in it. I just want to know if all shareholders received one or if Ms Chowderbreath is trying to make nice nice. Anyway it has a great (more than) full colour map and about 5 paragraphs that pretty much sum up why i invested in GBLX. The section is called Network For The New Millennium. The first line is It's not the same old world. The last line is It adds up to the capacity to change the world. In the middle there's brief description of the competition: ...patched together mix of legacy copper, old-model underseas "club cable" consortia with scores of partners, hand-off after hand-off between carriers, with toll charges again and again... Oh never mind. It is crazy to think that a company could go from zero to being one of the largest international telecom companies in a just couple of years. Anyway, i received more than a few messages thanking me for the definitions i posted. I did not mean to imply that i wrote them, as Dennis noted, they came directly from Barron's Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms. It is available on CD ROM from Softkey, bundled with some other good stuff.
