I see CPY establishing itself as the principal alternative to the Stentor companies in this lucrative market. As CPY is first off the mark in this country wide market they will certainly get a healthy slice of the pie. In a $2 Billion market 10-20% makes some pretty big numbers. Take a look at the key alliance with AT&T they have made.... you can be certain that this alliance has some major benefits for CPY (ie. I'm assuming 100's if not 1000's of committed payphone locations). It won't be long before the "halt trade" is lifted and then we should see the "shorters" scrambling to cover their positions. This will be an interesting time as the stock appears to be held quite tightly. Twenty-four months from now we both will be much wiser.... and one of us, much richer!
