...and the Papua-New-Guinea tsunami could be the event that brings them down. The company has *still* not responded to my query as to whether their $20 million investment in the country has become a total writeoff. To refresh everybody's memory:

CAMPBELL, CA, USA (October 16, 1997) -- P-Com, Inc. (NASDAQ National Market: PCMS), announced today that its Italian subsidiary has received an order valued at $20 million for the construction of a complete broadcast network for a group of private companies located in Papua-New Guinea.

Through its Italian subsidiary, Technosystem, S.p.A., P-Com will provide traditional TV broadcasting equipment, studio equipment, and terrestrial equipment. In addition, the network will include a Point-to-MultiPoint based "Pay TV" system as part of its structure.

It is anticipated that deliveries associated with the contract will ship over the next 12 months.
