Thanks very much for posting the article, As for the wcii price,boy, wish i knew. If I believed we were going to test and break mon/tuesday's lows, i would sell out now, get in later or not at all--i want to become more risk averse. However, I believe we are in a recovery, to where?? who knows?? I have no faith in the 60-97 numbers anymore, unless you're thinking in terms of 2000, 2001, etc. Moreover, further asian and southamerican meltdowns(Brazil rating dropped today) will put us in a further bear market, if prolonged we will surely see single digits again. (Remember, i was the one who didn't want to contemplate the low 30s as a "buying opportunity". Hah! And, with just one misstep, we could join artt as a pariah. The russell continues to follow/lead the dow down--almost like there is no bottom. The economy is fundamentally sound, this "should" not be continuing, but it is. I have no hope whatsoever for a deal for at least 2 years--sorry, Rouhana's ego will not permit it, he can wait forever and surely cares nothing about our plight. We need for the markets as a whole to stabilize, or to obtain credibility and visibility. We need to come to be seen as a relatively "safe" domestic play. Good Luck!! I note, however, that we have seldom performed with the dow. So, perhaps opur "recovery" can lead the dow. FWIW, I have been forced to sell a few thousand wcii, sold some more today; need to be more defensive. I have "lost" an entire family retirement since June 10.Fear and greed.

"Both systems offer telecommunications and data services through wireless technology. But while point-to-point requires a set of antennas for each building, point-to-multipoint allows Winstar to serve multiple buildings from a single hub." Is the wording of that paragraph dreadful, or what?! P-P requires that a pair of antennas be dedicated to serve each building, one at the building, one at the hub. P-Multipoint allows a single hub antenna to serve multiple buildings. duh,,,

zebraspot - thanks for posting the article. It provided some levity to my day. Nice to know that some genius is still worried about rain fade. Anyone ever heard of Orbitex Management ? Do they manage buildings, equities, or medicaid benefits? Every landlord I know wants to keep his non-fiber building copper wired so he won't have to deal with a large pool of potential tenants. Also, if you can keep your building antiquated, then you can avoid the pressure to be raising rents and angering your current lessees. If they need more telecom services, they can always move to another building, pay a higher rent and make someone else rich. TGNT up and running with P-MP in fifteen cities by year end - while wcii is only up in two. Probably due to Alex's existing , highly satisfied, large customer base. Give me a break - this is responsible journalism? Stories like this one highlight the misinformation out there and the nearly total lack of comprehension in the media and on the street as to what winstar does and the differences between wired and wireless clecs. They still don't get it. Bandwidth is determined by the size of the parade route or the playing field. When (and if) they do get the message the stock will do very well. In the meantime it's hard to educate someone with their head up their ass. Maybe the new PR firm and NBMO conference in November will help. Ed
