CF - I believe so, but I don't follow the defense business as closely as the other ones. Did you see the article from the Boston Globe posted on RB in regard to the growth of medical imaging? Although MRCY is not mentioned, it's clear that they are central to it. 4G base stations? Let's get through 3G first! An article I just read indicated that carriers are looking at about a $750 billion price tag to build out 3G networks but are not sure how they will recover the costs. Would you pay $75/month to browse the web on a screen the size of a Palm V, never mind a cell phone. I don't care how fast it is, that form factor is inherently limiting. MRCY's smart antenna CAN be used with 2G and 2.5G base stations as well though, so even if 3G doesn't happen as fast as we expect, there is still a play for MRCY in the cellular area. I hadn't heard about anything on the ASW front. Later!
