Peppe thanks for shedding light on the situation. Ever since AT&T's blackout with Crisco routers +ATMs last year and subsequent LU blackout in Chicago, you can count me in as one of the clueless thousands that don't understand why we get blackouts after all that PR and cash we are rolling out to this fat mammas. Luckily you do understand the system and I am sure we all appreciate whatever little info you can shed.( None so far but we are patient ). We all know you are an ardent Crisco fan and so we are surprised that you show up on this thread. Are you starting perhaps to feel the heat that another telco will buy NN? Competition on the horizon for Crisco, eh? Or are you here to defend Crisco from TMs recent 4X4 across the forehead of Crisco when a bystander jokingly asked: " Is it time for Newbridge to buy Crisco " " I only buy good companies ", Mr. Mathews shot back, obviously amused by the idea. ottawacitizen.com In case you don't get it, TM was referring to the fact that Crisco is essentially one large shopping bag: she goes out and buys what she needs. So it would be natural for TM to look at Crisco's non engineering talent in putting companies together, sneer, and crack a joke. I am sure he didn't mean any harm so there is no need to get rattled. Or perhaps peppe you are brighter than we give you credit and you do understand that Crisco has zero Carrier business and they are not going to get it because NN is the last ATM to go for sale and they are not going to get it. However I will tell you this: I am going to be nice one more time. And if Crisco does end up buying NN for a 1 share to 1 share exchange I will forget you made an ass of yourself on this thread for 4 years defending Crisco in the Carrier space, and I'll send you a bottle of Dom Perignon. Normally I would have sold those shares immediately because of their idiotic PE ( I am not going to wait 10 years to get my money bavck).But if TM is given some leeway at Crisco to guide them ( or should I say, design, VBG their carrier networks ), I'll consider holding those shares for a little longer, TA
