Agreed, Mathon. Today's news is further affirmation. I know this is going to sound crazy but I've been a big time supporter of QWST and now I'm getting a bit spooked by the future prospects. I'm not particularly fond of monopolies and I'm starting to think that QWST will not have any formidable competition by 2000. They may become like AT&T prior to the baby bell split-up. Anything that gets in its way will just get eaten a la Microsoft approach. Does anyone else see this happening?
