Steve, when you sell something, the customer wants to know the cost and how many bangs they'll get for their buck. They need to know coverage, capacity, loadings, and all the stuff which gives them a cost of service. Then, as business people, they use their own heads, [some of them do have brains], to develop a marketing plan, advertising and all that stuff. A supplier can't tell them how they want to sell the service. They can just tell them how much they'll have to pay to buy the service. The job of managing the service provider is for the management of the service provider, not the supplier. Similarly, shareholders' job is to value shares and buy at sensible prices. Mindless zombies bought shares at the peak because Uncle Al made them. They should have figured stuff out for themselves, but now need a scapegoat so they don't have to confront their own inadequacies. Uncle Al didn't make me buy Globalstar and lose a Tonka Truckload of hard-earned dosh [well, ill-gotten gains some would say]. Mqurice
