Please read and comments: I am from Houston, a market where both AT&T, SouthWestern Bell, Worldcom and Sprint operates. What makes me if i am an owner of a business building to move from those accounts to Winstar. I do not see anything Winstar offers that I can not get from those companies now. Lucent sells Winstar LU's products as a formed of a loan. Other companies can also buy the same deals from Lucent and cut the price, thus kills Winstar. With 8.5% interest and the telecom rate keep going down with fierce competition from these vendors. I wonder if Winstar will survive ? If Winstar wins, it should already won in its present market already, it kept burning a lot of money for 5 years now, I wonder if any more money left to burn. This maybe a test bed that Lucent will use to sell products to other Winstar competitors.
