Any thoughts on Wireless Facilities (WFII)? Sorry for the intrusion everyone, but I'm looking for opinions re Wireless Facilities (WFII). They provide network design and deployment services to Lucent. Their IPO on Friday (offering of 15) closed at 62. Given the potential size of the wireless market, and the growing penchant for large corporations to outsource services to avoid internal training and deployment costs, WFII looks like a good investment to me even at this price. Do any of you LU holders have any feedback on WFII? Their prospectus says they "provide network design and deployment services to wireless carriers such as AT&T affiliates Telecorp and Triton PCS (TPCS); equipment vendors, such as Siemens and Lucent (LU); and wireless broadband data carriers, such as CommcoTec and Nextlink". They have completed deployments in 26 countries and are actually already turning a profit (a rarity these days for IPOs). Any thoughts?
