Isn't that what the market is voting on now?" >> Hi Pi, I'm not sure what the market is voting on. To me the market at this point is fickle, capricious, and overly manipulated. My vote has been cast resoundingly and I will stick with it win or lose -- but I'm as confident as if I saw the future. People will slant things to fit their own agendas and not necessarily grasp the significance of the technology and WSTL's place in it. WSTL has the cash, it has the business, it has great products and exponential revenue growth,-- and this is only the beginning! I contend that the ramifications of DSL, and what it will mean for society are still beyond our wildest dreams and WSTL will fly with them. The revolution is too new for most to be confident or appreciate the significance. It's like the beginnings of the automobile. Everyone was using horses and this new fangled contraption called the car might just be a fly-by-night fad. Who needs it? SHORT THE POS! As a matter of fact, who needed the phone? We got along very well without it. The telegram was so much less intrusive and organized. What I see is an accelerating realization of the need for high speed access, and DSL is the solution for the masses for the next 40 years. I've believed this since the days of Amati. WSTL is now at the right place at the right time and it will succeed because it has the enabling technology in an ever increasing internet dependent business, educational and entertainment environment. Get with it, or be marginalized. All the best, Michael P. S. It's not for just the elite, it's for everybody.
