LoF, comparing GBLX with LVLT is a topic that I find very important. Could you elaborate on your thoughts? And why do you think that with two valid competitors it could work out well for shareholders of both - this has not been the usual experience in technology imho, see Compaq and Dell? I have followed this thread for some time and found it very interesting. Sam

I hope they have a good explanation at the Shareholders meeting, 15 June.

Directors and managers of the telecommunications-network operator who sold from April 10 to April 13 included chairman Gary Winnick; Barry Porter, senior vice president of corporate development; and president David Lee, according to the Washington Service, which tracks insider trading. The shares, including some sold to exercise options, fetched $31 to $33.20 each. Winnick sold stock valued at $149 million. Global Crossing shares have been down 47 percent this year. The Hamilton, Bermuda-based company and its shareholders unveiled a plan in March to sell $3.25 billion in common and preferred stock.

Global Crossing is building an undersea fiber-optic network for phone and Internet services.
