I'll tell you one thing, Buddy. I don't believe the demand will be as you say. I think it's a fad. I think it's 17 Billion of Hype. I think IF the demand is there,,,, The competition is going to be Cutthroat and Pricing pressures will rapidly make it a one shot PrePaid commodity. Kind of Like an HMO. Pricing pressures will kill it...if and when the demand is shown.... You can't Nickle and Dime your way to a 17 Billion dollar market cap....With everybody competing for the same space... Reminds me of a Zixi Biz plan...They planned to own the ZixCharge Space...When they figured out there was lots of comptetition and people providing the service for virtually nothing...they switched to a Secure email biz plan...and they couldn't get product out the door...I think they have a product now...But the point is...they projected 1 dollar month from everyone who used Email...They have essentially No Revenues...from all the Hype... Hey, I have no problem with the company moving the stock up and down...and selling their options every month..I have no problem with a trading vehicle...I really don't ...I understand the process...I understand the game...I understand the ego's and the desire...and i understand all of that...but trying to throw this out under the auspice of a 'Gotta Have It" (PROPRIETARY) technology...Is a Lie...and a Joke...And does not serve the Universe...
