Art, why should Wcom creditors subsidize creditors of those other companies who would not enjoy a price war? <I doubt that a court would be very sympathetic to price cutting that would run other smaller, better managed companies out of business. >

If creditors can maximize their financial recovery by way of a price war, that's all to the good. If the bankruptcy court becomes a Kremlin Central Planning Authority for pricing and allocation of resources, the comparison with the old-style USSR becomes uncomfortably true.

A price war is what is needed. Let's go! Those who can't face it, get out of the way. Subscribers will have a lot of fun and will finally get the phone pricing that should have been enjoyed years ago.

You're a class act Art. I hope some day you make a million because your business perspective is right on. It would be nice for the market to understand that again some day. But the wash out has to run its course first.
