G'day all - hi James, I ve to admit that WCG stock action is not winning any fan [you and I are in the same boat!] However, I think the bandwidth glut is still awhile away. Case in point, try to do some X'mas shopping and one will feel the degradation. Bandwidth may not necessarily the culprit, but that shows the e-commerce infrastructures [B2B and B2C] are far from complete.

Sure, more and more dark fibers are coming on to the market, but as Mr Andy Grove [of Intel] has pointed out, the businesses w/o a online component may face extinction in five years, there are a lot of businesses to be retrofitted!

best, B

<< Have you noticed that fibre,cable, and bandwidth stocks are out of favor[?] >>

Not really. Check out recent performance of QWST, GBLX, LVLT, MFNX, KQIP, NXLK, and NOPT. It's just WCG that's stuck.
