I agree Carolyn....my roommate spent a year in Costa Rica building web sites (and working as an on-line bookie, of course). Since the infastructure in these countries sucks, wireless is the only logical answer. As for playavermont's comments concerning metricom, all I can say is that patience and a whole lot of money can go a long way. Paul A. has a vision and I am just going to sit back and enjoy the ride. #26

Thanks for your opinion and yes the announcement of International expansion is a valid and very much needed move... Please take the following at face value... Which one of the 2 following internet companies would you expect to be higher valued by the market based upon the BASIC data to follow: Company A: Recent Quarterly Results: Revenue $10,100,000 Cost of Rev. and Operating Expenses $10,180,000 Income(loss)from Operations ($ 80,000) Interest Income $ 3,200,000 TOTAL INCOME $ 3,120,000 (.06/sh) Cash Position $160,000,000 TOTAL ASSETS $283,000,000 Company B: Recent Quarterly Results: Revenue $9,780,000 Cost of Rev. & Operating Expenses $8,120,000 Income from Operations $1,660,000 Interest Income $3,700,000 TOTAL INCOME $5,300,000 (.12/sh) Cash Position $217,000,000 TOTAL ASSETS $508,000,000 Company A is NOT profitable on an operating basis Company B has a 17% profit margin on an operating basis Both companies are showing near identical Revenue Growth. Any guesses?????? Best to All!
