<..Charlie Dickson left WCII to go to agency.com, an Internet
startup. Everyone wants to get in on the ground floor these days. If he had left to "pursue other interests", "contemplate the meaning of life" or "spend more time with his family" I guess I would be more concerned...>

agreed - on one hand i would have liked to have seen him stay at least through tomorrow's conference call; on the other, agency.com is purportedly going public soon, and he is needed on their roadshow, and will be making about 5x with them this year what he would have at WCII. Still, when management credibility is at issue (which is the primary reason we are down from the 60s), the CFO is the last person you want to see leave.

<..Finally, I was interested in Rouhana's comments in regard to the 60 data centers and exponential increase in demand for data services. What's your take on that?..>

i think it is good - consistent with WCII's focus on data services.
