a thought on ARTT - maybe WCII isn't (just) waiting for ARTT's market cap to come down; perhaps they're waiting for WCII common to really take off so the acquisition won't be as dilutive. of course the longer WCII waits, the greater the chance that ARTT will be acquired by someone else. acquiring ARTT kills four birds with one stone: significantly improves WCII's spectrum holdings in top 50 U.S. markets, opens up european market via ARTT's U.K. and scandinavian spectrum, removes a competitor from the playing field, and preempts ARTT being acquired by AT&T or some other deep-pockets player. mark
