<It would not explain how an investor can now buy shares @
$.25 when the rest of us have to buy at the market.>

Go back to March, take a look at the share price when this was consummated.

In reference to Guatemala, I asked about them the first of this week, and was told that deal at the moment is on hold. No reasons given.

I'll be away for the weekend. Hope everyone has a great one.

Bruce, you got your answer on Guatemala. The next question is if the system is so good, what is holding up Guatemala. So far, Bruce, this find of yours looks interesting, but looking at the chart, it seems the stock is moved by news releases. It has been five months since the Guatemala release and sooner or later, they will have to deliver the beef or lose credibility. The May 27 news release is going to be an elaboration of the plan, but realistically, I do not think that any actual concrete agreement involving deployment of ACR are forthcoming in the real near future. It is just too complex an agreement to strike. You have to handle various telephony interests in the host countries (and these, usually have political muscles), agreement on spectral bands (possibly even auction of spectral bands, and if you remember the frenzy here, it involved billions of bucks), agreement with local carriers for call completion and interfaces and countless other problems I am not personally familiar with. If there would have been one example where such deployment was swift and rapid after the demo, for instance, a purchase order covering the Guatemala deal, then it would have been easier.

Bruce -- no, I don't know the story but i want to correct what I stated earlier today. BellSouth on its Web Page states that the Brazilian deal is for TDMA, not GSM as I earlier stated.

GSM is an old analog technology that was converted to digital and is used in Europe and by Omnipoint in the USA. (Good technology but not robust.)

TDMA -Time Division Cellular technology. Analog time Division was used by MA Bell for about 100 years. TDMA is used by AT&T because MCCaw had a big investment in TDMA. (TDMA is much more robust than GSM.)

CDMA - Code Division Cellular technology. Used bandwidth more efficiently and now that the bugs are out of it in the last year or so, it can handle more cellular calls than expected.

If BellSouth wants TDMA, because they use and know TDMA well then that's exactly what they will use in Brazil or wherever they are a partner.

Guatemala is a very poor and politically unstable country. I like business where the customer can pay their bills.
