While I generally agree that MSPG is overpriced, you give them short shrift and paint a very biased picture. > MSPG is nothing but a bunch of modems. And AMZN is nothing but a Web site. But both of these companies have a lot more than just quantifiable assets. AMZN has a good brand name and a solid business model. MSPG has a reputation for excellent service. The fact that they're not adding service in some cities, which you point out as a negative, is often touted in articles about the company as a sign of their wisdom. They limit their growth to keep quality high. MSPG also has 15,000 Web hosting customers (up from 12k+ last Q), a nationally recognized brand name, and a good mgmt team. Last but not least, they have profits which is something you can't say for most of the Internet darlings. Mr Bones
