Hindery sounds genuinely "driven" by his convictions. My take is that GBLX is being set up as 3 distinct companies instead of "divisions". I still don't quite get what the company is trying to achieve as an end product. It started as a cable company, now has cable and telephone business along with information/service centers. Add the Global Marine cable laying ship business. No wonder investors are confused about what this company offers. Does anyone have a "mission statement" about what the company's primary focus is or will be. This company needs to focus its' efforts on 1 primary task, once it has mastered that it should branch out from that base. Right now it is too fragmented and unwieldy, IMO. This is one reason why I think the assets will be sold off as each reaches fruition or no longer has additive valuation. If they want to truly be a global telecom player they will be butting heads with the big "proprietary" contenders. Open access appears to be the way to go but it will really take the US govt passing laws for this to be mandated. Whomever is 1st with an "open access" system will take the lead, the issue is how long will it take before open access becomes reality. JMO, BB
