Burnsie, you are an Anthony wanna bee. You need to take more lessons. You guys have come on here and promoted in a blustery fashion typical of WWF that 1)MCOM is going bk 2)MCOM is running out of money 3)MCOM doesn't work 4)MCOM is slow NONE OF THAT IS TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT. IT'S FUD PLAIN AND SIMPLE. You are here to scare up a few shares. You lack all credibilty. You work with BrownFingers and have gotten burnt (or is that Burns) from his last 2 calls on MCOM. I.e. 18 short goes to 24; 13+ short and it goes to 15+. YOu call that a track record? In fact, I think you guys have a good shot on Monday given the election uncertainty. This is a shorters' paradise. You guys are just pitiful. Stop trying to sow FUD and you might be taken seriously. Bye bye

The reason why subscribers are not that high yet is because they just started up the system (R2). San Diego and Atlanta were the only cities offering service until September 21 when they added seven more. Subs from the seven new cities really didn't show up in the quarterly report because the quarter ended September 30, they just had one week to sell. Also WCOM is only selling in three cities right now, they are waiting until coverage is more complete to make a national sales pitch. As with any new wireless network, they will fill in the holes in coverage as they go. Will the subs show up once the network is more complete? I am betting on it and you are taking the opposite view, nothing wrong with that as long as you have your reasons. I am a user of the service, so I do believe in it from that perspective. Good luck to you (but not too much).
