Hi Denis, don't have much time right now to digest this, but I did a little litmus test that I find useful at times, by checking how many times certain words occur in an article. In this "precursive" treatment I found: Fiber = 0 Photonic = 0 Utility (as in power company) = 0 Tauzin = 1 Wireless = 2 DSL = 6 CLEC = 6 Act (as in of '96) = 10 Cable (as in Cable TV) = 21 And from going through it rather quickly, it appears to be more retrospective (20/20 h.s., and there is an awful lot of that going on these days, which was and is predictable) than precursive. FWIW. FAC

Past is Prologue, Precursor to a Curse ~ Wishing for a de novo Chinese posture Hi Denis, Thanks for posting the precursor article. The brief commentary at the end of the piece regarding China reminded me of this Red Herring article: redherring.com <snip>"In China, nothing's a done deal until you've actually made your money and left," complains Douglas MacLellan. The American private financier says he lost millions of dollars he invested in China Unicom (Nasdaq: CHU), the country's second largest telecommunications concern, <end snip> Of course, Mr. Winn will perhaps have a lot to say about how RH's concerns are ill-founded and that it is a bash piece. I'm bashful myself, but not shy about suggesting that the Chinese view the situation quite differently from the typical bull!$# tech investor around these parts.... BWDIK? Ray :)
