Andrea, The FCC situation I was referring to goes like this................It is my understanding that all phone companies must subsidize the rural areas of this country in terms of costs to get the farmers phone service. In other words the city people (where profits are high for phone companies) pay around .04 cents a minute to help off set the cost of rural phone service. So, ATT customers pay...... .05 cents for cost + .04 cents for subsidy + whatever cents for ATT profit. The "internet" phone companies that are springing up all around the world are free of this .04 cents charge......so far. When you saw ACCR run up a few weeks ago, it was because a regulator had made a comment that "internet" phone companies would always remain exempt from this .04 cents a minute charge. A few days later the big phone companies, like ATT ask to have this status reviewed. So, it is being reviewed. If the ruling comes out wrong, this stock will not fare as well. If it comes out in its favor, this stock will fly. I would not expect a ruling very soon. I don't think that even the large phone companies know how they want this ruling to come out. I don't know anything about what it takes to get on the Nasdaq. I do know that a company must have a certain market cap & have so many ??? shares available for trading. DWW
