SteveG: <<In short, I fail to find your often repeated 'message' here adding anything of substance or interest.>> Perhaps if you had listened to my repeated message 20 points back, you would now find them substantial and interesting. Or the thread could continue to listen to your ramblings and watch their bank accounts grow smaller. Seems pretty clear to me. Only a moron would continue to pick a fight after being so thoroughly discredited by a 50% decline in the value of their net worth. Hmmm... JC

Gentleman-Boyle, I appreciate your input, very detailed and insightful. I have started following the Yahoo thread as well. Please continue your contributions with same level of depth; you are teaching me along with others a great deal about some of the complexities of M&A and financial analysis. I agree with your thoughts about the GTE-BEL and the Ameritech deals possibly being in trouble. The FCC Chairman William Kennard warned that the telecommunications marketplace is "just a merger away from undue concentration." I am not sure whether WCII shareholders would not do better with a couple of large Bell companies to compete against nationally. Those executives may spend energies merging large geographical territories without implementing effective strategies against the CLEC's; hence, a larger market share for WCII. I would like to thank Steve G for his contributions and always look forward to his continual updates of analysts comments regarding WCII (more credible sources than some of the opinions expressed here on SI and Yahoo). Do the numbers projected on revenues and EBIDTA at the NBMO presentation on 9/14/98 include revenue from data? Additionally year to year growth projections over the next five years is: 252%, 170%, 66%,45%, 34%. All this with expected widening margins/higher percentage of customers on net. Steve or G-B do you know once WCII is a fully deployed network in the top 50 markets what the gross margins are expected to be? Aside: Jason I would not wait too long, nobody ever got rich in cash (just kidding). Prediction: by the time WCII is EBIDTA positive you will be able to buy half the shares you could today. Regards, Gary
