McLeod is the leading CLEC for Midwest region concentrating on tier-2 and tier-3 market. They have large customers list. They compete with Qwest for all telecom services. Revenue over $1B with debt over $4B. Positive EBITDA and positive cash flow in 2002. Their services is exceptional. Just ask anyone if they like US West which Qwest which mostly made of. Enough cash to carry well into 2003. One think it's very interesting is this. Forstman Little owns big chunk of McLeodUSA and XO Communications. Incidentally these two got beat up good. I think there's a party out there playing with FL nerve. Comparing it with WCG ABIZ ALGX. They all have negative EBITDA especially ALGX. The only thing is saving ALGX is its $1B debt size which is much smaller than MCLD but look at the revenue! No comparison!
