In the CNBC interview, Akerson said they would be free cash flow positive in 2002. This was in response to Faber's question about when they would be free cash flow positive.
Ackerson is wrong. Analysts have them being EBITDA positive in 2002 but not free cash flow positive until 2005.

BTW, how do they still get away with saying that they are the largest holder of fixed wireless spectrum? Under what definition can this be true?

Limtex:

<<All business is risky to a greater or lesser extent>>

I agree.

<<I don't think that WCII's business plan is more risky than others>>

I disagree.

<<nor do I believe that "sanity" has arrived>>

I believe that the credit markets are going to look at the earnings plan carefully before loaning additional funds. I believe that will be good for WCII and the industry.
