>>Why can't some major players come in and take away MTON's business?<< Wouldnt all the call centers that they have already built out (and expensed) be a big barrier to entry for a newcomer who would have to start from scratch and try to get national contracts when they dont have any call centers built yet?

Eric, The driving force behind MTON for the next 2 or 3 years is demographics and the size of the market which they are only beginning to penetrate. I'll refer you to Harry S. Dent's book, "The Great Boom Ahead" for his discussion of demographics, the customized economy and the S-curve. It's a great look at macro-fundamentals well mixed with charting and projection. I think the only thing that will interrupt MTON is a buyout from somewhere. Not that one might occur but the possibility always exists, however remote. Doug R
