Andrew & all, thanks for the info regarding the switching and the resulting impact on DEPRECIATION and INTEREST. Your point and my research prevented me from loosing big in STGC. However I have to say that I rather like this company in a longer perspective. Since the company plans to buy 20 international switches now, does anybody know HOW MANY swittches STGC has RIGHT NOW (before they added the 20 from the junk bond deal) ? Would be good to find out: 1) how much top line could grow to utilitize the new switches fully ( by indirect inference ) 2) whether STGC had to use other companies infrastructure (switches) in order to satisfy its customers. If so, how big would be the favourable profit impact if they could service existing customers 100% on in-house infrastructure Any info/opinion welcome. Even guesses help sometimes <g> best regards CROSSY
