Howdy Frank! My guess is that MetroMedia desperately needs some good marketing help. They have not created the "buzz" that Qwest & others have generated. They need to be working the press and industry analysts and gain mindshare like there's no tomorrow. These are the folks that act as influencers to customers, Wall Street, etc. I read the bio on their head of Marketing. Not a very strong telecom marketing background given what MFNX wants to accomplish. They need to build its brand, gain mindshare, create a buzz...it's more than just putting out press releases. This buzz will jumpstart many things, including the activity on this board. It's rare for a leader in any space to have the BEST products/services/technology. It's all about perception and that translates into outstanding marketing early on. If anyone from MFNX is reading this, you owe it to your shareholders to get in a marketing exec that is going to launch this company into orbit. Now is the time to bust a move!!!! Just my two cents ;)
