We'll see Jane. Disagree on the spectrum comment. Spectrum purchases are in the 10's and 100's of billions of dollars. The only thing they have to show for it now is that goofy web browser on my Vz QCOM 960 phone. I almost never get service and when I do, it really is fairly useless. Can't wait to get rid of it. Of course, voice quality makes it all worthwhile <gggg> I know, I know, all the new stuff is supposedly going to change that. But if you want to talk about limitations, read about the promises of 3G and similar, over the past 2 years, and then see where they are now. I suggest respectfully that R2 is further along on its business plan than the 3G purveyors. So shall we officially put you down as a short? I'm through hedging and taking my chances. Probably will buy more tomorrow but not at the open for obvious reasons LOL... And as for short squeezes - we'll see - I know your buddy always says that's an urban myth - but that's why he gets the big bucks.
