Steve, i think you make a good point. I don't remember an upgrade since the Oct. report-although that doesn't mean there hasn't been one. Also, did everyone catch the statement Reagan made in the WSJ article about doubling his targets in the event of a takeover? Kind of left himself an out. "I can justify doubling my targets on a takeout price," he added. "My target is stand-alone." The time for WinStar to be acquired is not at hand, he said. I kind of hope he is right about the time to be acquired is not at hand. Dub

[QWST & WCII?] has QWST made any rumblings of entering the CLEC space? acquiring WCII would allow QWST to offer a complete slate of lowest-cost business telecom services (local, long distance, internet, internet fax) with no dependencies on local telcos or entrenched long distance players. QWST would own the the voice/data packets from door-to-door, since WCII's services are wireless. WCII's geographical footprint and target markets align very well with the QWST network, IMO. just food for thought. mark
