Hi Steve, thanks for the advice. I am really interested in this 800# and analyst conversation thing. Is that standard practice by other companies? That is pretty neat. Do companies always have a formal call to analysts every quarter? And if so, is its purpose to put spin on the results?

Steven, Regarding your negative interpretation of the remarks Rouhana made at the NBMS conference about 50% on switch and 30% on net, I'm wondering what makes you think these numbers may be an early indication of a so-so quarter. I'm curious because the people I talk to, and admittedly it's not a big group, have all said they believe that Winstar is having a very good, to great quarter. Like you trying to read the tea leaves and would be interested in your thoughts. Regards, Brian
