NW: I am on board as well. Have not posted before but have been following this stock for some time. I definitely believe in the technology and the ability to bundle services and offer competitive prices. The technology offers customers a huge pipe to deliver services that today is still not available on the wireline phone companies without fiber. And it can be deployed economically since cable or fiber does not have to be run to each individual home. A city the size of NY has a lot of potential users. The company though needs to prove that it can build out their system and get those subs to buy their product. But even if CVUS is slow to deliver, I see their license in that market to be a gem, regardless what the auction results show. Cellular licences back in the 80's went cheaply and a lot of big companies that had the ability to get on board early did not because they did not feel that the service would be that popular. A prime example of that was the divestiture of the Bell system, where AT&T was split out from the local RBOCs. AT&T had the chance to retain the cellular licenses awarded to the wireline companies, but let it go to the baby Bell RBOCs. Then 10 years later, AT&T spent a huge chunk of money to buy back into the cellular service business by buying out Cellular One and creating AT&T Wireless Services. My point is that CVUS holds a license that I see as being key to a larger entity's puzzle. It's just a matter of time. John

Night Writer, I'm in for the duration. Have always been enamoured with the tech and believe NYC is the right place to do it. I've also met the guys running the operation and despite what others have said, I think they are good folks and will do the best they can to make this work. No guts, no glory!!! CAP

NW, and left standing, Most of you know me from the old AOL board on CVUS which I started quite awhile back. I have been following (with great trepidation) CVUS for almost 2 years. It still intrigues, mystifies and befuddles me most of the time. It is by far my most speculative investment, let alone my largest cash investment. Will CVUS be reduced to pennies, like some of the naysayers believe? I think not. I am confident that the Finks of the world would rather call me a "freeloader" than address the facts about just what this company has endured and brought to the forefront of the 21st century. Few people knew at the time just how big the cellular industry would become. Are we (world) just looking at the proverbial "tip of the iceberg?" Yes, I do think so. CVUS' future does indeed look uncertain at times. We as shareholders each expect and perceive things differently based on our own belief system. Like what we have seen done in the past, as an investor, by other companies. This technology and company is very different from most companies that I have ever compared before. As we move forward in this information age, and our appetite for speed and getting things now is more and more a part of our everyday lives, I feel CVUS will find its niche in the marketplace. As for the MMDS vs LMDS, does it really matter? Probably not. Wireless information access is here to stay and so is CVUS. This may be my last SI post as I probably will not be able to subscribe at this time. I will be traveling for business most of this summer. Still have not worked out all of the logistics. I wish everyone here a safe and peaceful holiday. Good luck to all in 98 If I am not posting I hope to always be here reading. Larry keep in touch. Frank, behave at the asylum. Jim Fink, lighten up, life is to short to take oneself so seriously. DC Miller
