hi Jay, there are lots of "models or predictions for profitability sometime down the road." Some will be more correct than others. Mine is kinda conservative (mostly because I expect considerable expantion in addition to the network build out already announced). Also, looking out a couple of years, no one knows what this company is going to look like (AOL & Time Warner ? no one guessed that). Anyway, I figure: 2001 is iffy: $0.10 profit would be nice, but i'll plan on a loss of $0.20 2002: $0.95 profit 2003: $2.10 profit After that, the earnings go up real fast... i think... but who knows what is going to happen in 3 or 4 years? Your broker should be able to provide you with a detailed guess and guidance on whether this (or any stock) is a suitable investment for you. And don't forget to read the Annual Report and recent SEC filings before investing in any company. BTW, globalcrossing.com rocks!

Dear Jay: I use the INTERNET MODEL. Which means the more they LOSE the more they are worth.haha. Just kidding!! I am old enough to remember the advent of Cable for Cable T/V and in fact I audited some of those "startups" in those days. What impressed me was the tremendous capital needed in laying the cable etc etc BUT once it all was done they were CASH COWS requiring only minor maintenance expenditures. (this was before programming content was required). Anyhow, I think the same holds true with GBLX. JDN
