I also take it you're quite young. Otherwise you'd know stocks don't go up forever That was a feeble. I am suggesting it pays to know a company's fundamentals Are you so certain that you understand TERN's fundamentals? Apparently with all your research you failed to anticipate that TERN would triple their revenues this past quarter and achieve operating profitability three quarters before analyst estimates. Since you can't accept the possibility that you may have been wrong, you've conjured up the accusation that TERN is in collusion with its customers, George Gilder, and any number of analysts to cook its numbers. However, since you don't know if I'm right or wrong, how can you pass judgment? That's exactly the point. You haven't provided any fundamental research. You've only snipped already known, public information from SEC filings and put your own spin on it. Your spin - like all spin - will reflect your own bias. In the final analysis, you don't even know if you're right or wrong. There are simply too many excellent companies out there to waste time on one with questionable ethics. Then why are you wasting so much time? Regards, Hassell

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 25 (Reuters) - San Francisco's Telecommunications Commission has voted to delay implementation of any ``open access' for high speed Internet access through the city's cable systems until 2003, AT&T Corp (NYSE:T - news) said Tuesday. The commission's vote, taken Monday, now goes to the city's Board of Supervisors for final approval at a future meeting, which has not yet been scheduled. The vote marked another victory for AT&T, which has led the drive to block new regulations requiring cable companies to share their lines with Internet providers -- who would then have the ability to offer high-speed access to the World Wide Web and a variety of new features unavailable over common phone lines, most notably video. ``AT&T remains committed to the principal that government-mandated forced access is unwarranted and unnecessary,' Lois Hedg-peth, AT&T's president, Pacific region, said in a statement Tuesday. ``We're hopeful that the Board of Supervisors will agree that the marketplace is providing new alternatives for Internet access every day and that a forced access ordinance is both unnecessary and unwise.' The news out of San Francisco came as both sides in the debate over open access awaited to hear the result of an appeal of a court decision which required AT&T to share its cables with Internet companies in Portland, Ore. That case is currently before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which is expected to rule soon on whether local governments have the authority to require open access in cable systems. Last year, AT&T scored a victory in Seattle as that city postponed any new regulations requiring it to open access to its cable modem system there until this year at the earliest.
