<<<<we just get paid a little early if the Street figures it out early. But we still get paid either way.>>>> I am patient to be paid, but now that I am finally above water I hope it will be blasting off. I reject the WCOM takeover speculation. Bernie specifically mentioned he was interested in a profitable cellular operator. Seems to exclude NXTL at least for a while longer. On the other hand, NXTL could be profitable if added to the WCOM group and NXTLs network service costs would just fold into WCOMs huge sunk investments and capacity. Nextel's junk debt rating could even be an attraction as rates are historically low and WCOM could refinance them at even lower rates (with $cash back). Still, I am confident that NXTL has a huge run in it like others on this thread, and I hope that no one scoups up the company from us just before the turnaround point. Disclosure: I own stock in both cos.
