Hi dav - not sure about Canada [not sure which side of the border you are :),] but the US people should receive the proxy by now, in which stock split is one of the proposals. At least I did. As people, myself included, have explained to you before, b/c this is a split, NT requires shareholder's approval. My guess is that since there is so much upheaval going on, like M&A and the forecoming BCE spinoff, NT simply needs to take time to do things properly. If one is a long term shareholder, there is no urgency. If one thinks split can somehow increase the stock price by its own, one should look at the real history of stock split, not the phenom of the past 2 years. best, Bosco
