Given the demand for 360networks I dont think we will see $10. Based on historic situations $100 seems far more likely.

Good Evening Amein

May you could give us your interpretation of the current NR's by Rogers and Shaws vested interest in 360.

I will be calling 360 to try and further explain some of the details. Not sure how much they will be able to clarify.

Best regards
