Dave, I suggest you read up on the Asian, Russian, S. America banking crisis, as well as depression in Asia. I don't have time to be your personal teacher re: economics, but in short the world banking situation will/is affecting all Euro countries and the US. Cellular telephones are a luxuary item - first to go in a cash pinch. ATI's Euro phone card plans will find no one buying time as cash tightens. Many of the reported new customers are from these phonecard accounts - people who cannot/do not have enough credit to get service without pre-paid plan. i.e. the first to drop service. <<<Your baseless innuendo is quite transparent.>>> Uhhh yea... Try this instead of the flames... Read, learn, remove yer head... I have offered IMO pretty sound advice for capital preservation in a very scary market, if you want to hold your shares when they hit their highs and expect this stock to continue going higher even though it trades at a very high valuation already, while world markets are crashing, well that's never ever worked historically, but maybe this time it will. As always, I respect your opinion. Good Luck investing. Steve

From WSJ today.... France Telecom dropped 7 7/8 to 73 7/8 on the Big Board. The state-controlled company said net profit in the six months of the year fell 15% to 7.6 billion francs ($1.34 billion), with earnings down 15% to 7.6 francs a share from a pro forma 8.9 francs a share a year earlier. The figures were at the lower end of analysts' forecasts.
