I think that Jack makes an excellent in that the competition is fierce. WCII is running around picking up other peoples failures. Yes I do think they have a better plan than a lot of other companies but that is exactly what the people who invested in the bancrupt companies thought. One would be wise to watch this very closely. And Robert, what was the Telegent news? Don't be such a tease. Sharing is caring. Patrick

In the end, MCCI failed because of bad management. Pure and simple. Not having infrastructure control and lack of local switches simply Edgar spin terms for bad management. Key people made bad decisions. No, key people made fatal decisions. Now some of these people presumably will be joining the WCII team. Boy, that excites me as a WCII stockholder. Hopefully, these new people will be the hard-working rank-and-file grunts who made the cold calls, not the colonels and generals who made promises they couldn't deliver on. Time will tell whether the failure can be rectified by resources that WCII brings to the table, bro. I ain't giving up on WCII's ability to revitalize MCCI's business model. All I'm saying is that WCII's braintrust better have a game plan -- a good one -- that takes effect at 8 a.m. today ... they better have rehearsed their speeches to MCCI's customer base ... or you and I and the rest of the good people who BS on this wonderful Silicon Investor chat site gonna be 50% poorer six months down the road than we are today.
