I hope you have a backup plan. MCOM (Metricom) made $3.5M on $185M in losses this last quarter. they are on a burn rate of $33M loss per month and they have like $200M in cash on hand. Looks to me like they have like 4-6 months max until they run out of money. they have been trying to do the pole by pole roll out themselves, but never had teh killer voice app in teh back ground to pay the bills like carriers do.
