ok. let me pound the table some more on UTCC as a play on GRIC's near-term success, and also as a long-term play on the wireless/IP buildout. They expect I/P traffic in Europe and Asia over their network to increase 300% sequentially for Q1 00. Not only do they have the traffic, they've got the building out of infastructure that should continue beyond their POPs in Frankfurt, Beunos Aires, and Tokyo, to name a few.
