>>Right but but there is no further incentive for building additional voice capacity and hence no incentive for capital for voice other than as addon to data. SO why aren't we all investng in WCOM?<< I think this is what's happening already. Maybe in developing countries, there will be "voice only" networks created, but I doubt it. RE: WCOM. Yes, I've been waiting for these guys to get moving big time. They were held up for almost a year I think by the FCC giving them approval to merger with MCI. As soon as they got the OK just recently, I have seen major displays of advertising all over the place. They have to be careful because they are probably taking on massive debts to build the new networks, but still, they are moving very fast once given the OK. That's my understanding of it. Hopefully, they will create panic and fear in the other "legacy telecom companies", AT&T and RBOCs, and get their butts moving. joe
