It has been just over a year since wind changed their pricing model. At the time, I remember the thinking was that revenues would take a hit for a while, but that long term it was the right move. I believe that we should really start seeing the benefit now, unless the whole thing was just smoke.
Current revenue projections are for $98 to $98.5 million. I for one will be very disappointed if they are not significantly above $100 million. First quarter revenues were $91.6 million, and EST was only included for one month (EST had 1999 revenues of %28 million).
Factoring in EST for the quarter and hoping for close to 10% Q on Q growth, my guess is that they should have close to $105 million in revenues.

Ramsey, I also do not think the company is significantly more transparent than last year, although I do think they have made some progress. I also think that they have identified this as an issue that needs to be addressed, and expect to see more progress in the future.

>>We think that Wind is into wireless in a big way but are not sure.<<

Perhaps not in a big way, but in a lot of small ways. I searched the Yahoo classifieds under 'vxworks' + 'wireless' and came up with 51 hits:

classifieds.yahoo.com

I got 14 hits on 'vxworks' + 'cdma':

Many of the above jobs seem to be for infrastructure. I only got one hit
on 'vxworks' + 'handset':
