<<China Mobile rose 1.71 percent to HK$41.70. China Unicom , which on Thursday said it had added more than one million subscribers between April 20 and May 20, climbed 2.31 percent to HK$13.30.>>> Computing further... 1 mm/mo. equals 12mm/year China Population = 1.295 bil and adds 13.2 mm people per year Which means they need 1.1mm connections/mo just to keep up with the population growth ( Which might make Dr Jacobs of Qcom happy). Sig should check these figures but my time has run out(G)

No Excuse for Exodus By James J. Cramer 6/21/01 6:03 PM ET <<It's true that PSINet and ICG Communications and Teligent were all pipedreams. They had no real technical or first-mover advantage, and they took on a huge amount of debt to (over)expand -- foolishly thinking that there would always be a stock market to bail them out. They needed huge amounts of money to build out complicated plants and equipment and stay even with the majors. They had to spend or die. They died. But Exodus (EXDS:Nasdaq - news - commentary)? What's the excuse for the implosion of Exodus? What happened here? I mean, think about it, Exodus is really a bunch of warehouses with air conditioners, steel cages and some hardware from Radio Shack. Heck, we could be Exodus. We could figure that out. You and me and a couple of our buddies. Rocket scientists? Nah, those who have ever used an erector set or mastered Lego could build one of these hosting sites. How did this company take on so much debt and then just wipe itself out? Oh man, what a disaster!! The worst of 2001. Sucked in everybody from Janus (records show they have 60 million shares, but could have sold some) to most of the analysts who follow it. Dumb as creosote. We used to trade Exodus all of the time at the hedge fund, mostly to the long side because it was the greatest growth story of the era, allegedly. We used to play the Bob Marley song every time we went long it. Every day this stock climbed. It beat the numbers and beat the numbers. We used to joke that Exodus meant "beat the numbers" in Web-speak -- as in "they pulled an Exodus." We revered Ellen Hancock as the CEO who raised the bar more than anyone out there. And then one time last year Exodus reported an in-line quarter. It was one of those moments when Jeff Berkowitz, Matt "Deuterotomy" Jacobs and I were all thinking there had to be something wrong with the tape, some split, some missing number, some keypunch error. We didn't wait around, though, we sold it and sold it and sold it and sold it again. When we were done we shorted it and shorted it. How could this company not beat the numbers? It was a classic case of what happens when momentum shows the slightest sign of waning. I don't think it has put together a string of up days since then. Every move Exodus has made since then has been wrong. A business that should have been throwing off massive cash flow, even with the Net as crummy as it is, should at least have some value. But not with this management. This one is incredible. Just incredible. When the business school texts are written about what went wrong with the dot-com movement, they are going to have to reverse the order of the Bible. Exodus is now the first chapter.>>
