Thank you for the article. I think it is a riot that that excecutive that jumped ship had a choice between: 1.- Pay aprox. 500K$ to stay at ATT 2.- Get a down payment of 10MM$ + gazillion shares to go to Global. Tough choice. I guess you need one of those Olimpics type chronometers to measure the time it took that excec. to decide.

Rocket, < RM: Remember what Macker said about the main AT&T exec bolting over to Global Link USA? And how the company we just bought in Indonesia owns 19.1% of Global Link USA?> We do not own Indosat, we are partnering with them. I know you know this (slip of the tongue), but I want to keep the newcomers straight. Hraka

Please, please... We don't own Indosat. Indosat is publicly traded (Jakarta, NYSE). I think the market capitalization of the company is around 1.3 billion US dollars --> maybe too expensive for us (at least for now). However, the Indonesian government is planning to reduce its stake in Indosat to 51% by selling 14% of the company, which should be worth 180M $. Maybe JC will bid for some/all of those shares, who knows.. One thing is sure though: Indosat as a commercial partner would make a lot of sense: it would give us a fully connected network right away (with an Air-Sea gateway to the world located in Australia) --> The $$$$ can start flowing in. Good day everyone, JPC
