Editor's Note: Mr. Sidgmore was unable to join us Friday, June 21. However, this discussion will be rescheduled for sometime next week. That is NOT a good picture of John Sidgemore. He looks quite puzzled. -LOL discuss.washingtonpost.com

Here is the question I submitted. Perhaps others on this thread have comments. Would you explain how you are dealing with price declines in your telecom services. Quoting from Jim Jubak's 5/02/02 column: "...in January 2001, the wholesale price of a one-year forward contract for an OC-3 grade connection between New York and Los Angeles...came to $26,000.... By November that contract went for $3,000." Jubak claims that WorldCom Group is facing "quickly falling prices in the core data and Internet businesses." How serious is this problem and how are you dealing with it? Thank you, Paula Metz thestreet.com
