More "DUH" on "6 markets" (and my interpretation of what you are trying to tell us) : Are you saying 6 out of the 40 that Leap has going right now ? or 6 out of all the "BTAs" ("basic trading areas" (?)) (geographic clusters of POPs in and around cities) that Leap owns any spectrum on ? or 6 areas in the entire United States ? AND Are you saying "good" or "profitable" meaning (only) right now, today (with $32.99 plans, pretty much voice only revenues, etc.) ? or good or profitable EVER ? Jon.

I mean 16 million in G/A per month for 1.39 million subs with an Average ARPU of $38 vs. 2.1 million G/A per month for 550,000 subs with an ARPU of $60 for Airgate. Appreciate your post. However, the question needs to be asked: How else do you launch 40 markets? How many markets has Airgate launched?

PCSTEL, I recommend Sue in leopard skin leotards rather than pink hot pants. I find leopard skin leotards work wonders. Harvey should wear the pink hot pants. I have not met or seen Sue, whoever she is, and have no idea really, but Harvey on a Comfortable Couch in pink hotpants would cheer the place up. Throw in some Manolo Blahniks [borrow from tb98 to keep costs down] and Sue would really look the part: Message 16103593 Maybe they could change their business plan in one city to see if WackyWireless would improve customer satisfaction, cut subscriber charges, reduce network costs and increase profits and market share. They would need only a third the capacity they currently build out. That would reduce costs a lot since network costs are a large part of the money going out. Mqurice
