Partners want out cause they are cable companies who had no business going into wireless in the first place. The did cause didn't know what else to do, more or less, at the time. Now they know. Its called cable broadband internet access. That takes big cable bucks to implement. Doug

That's an excellent question, Dave, and I don't know the answer enough to my own satisfaction. I'll admit I've done a very cursory review of the business; not near the DD I need to do before making any purchase. Just enough to get me interested. I'll bet Doug knows the answer; he seems pretty in touch with it. Doug, are you out there with an answer? ...Tim (follow-up: I see Doug answered your question a few posts back.) (Dave: Yes; that Loral board is sizzlin' hot, isn't it! It's certainly an "unusual" situation. Not sure I've ever owned a stock that was in a similar state of affairs. I hope it all washes out OK for everyone.)
