Joel, I was reading an article in ASAP stating the company reports margins of 70% on wireless T1 installations; pricing based on a 10-15% discount on the T1 tariff price umbrella (up to $2,000/month for a 1,544 megabit/second). Any idea regarding what proportion of the 38,000 lines on switch or 10,000 wireless lines on switch are T1? Additionally, Vogel's report compared WCII having 300,000 access lines at three years to Teleport's 282,700 after 12 years. I think the real comparison is to lines on switch (38,000) or wireless lines on switch (10,000). Do you think they can put more than 5,000 wireless lines on switch/quarter at current staffing? Do you have any thoughts on the margins expected for lines on switch versus wireless lines on switch? Also I thought there were more than 18 cities with switches installed. Joel, I appreciate your efforts to shine some positives on the company especially during these last few weeks. Regards, Gary
