Hi David- Either your suggestion was so brilliant that everyone is still in shock, or simply otherly involved preparing for tonight's meteor show. In any case, a few pre-Leonid news tidbits to occupy anyone till showtime: techweb.com some DSL noise (FREE registration): nwfusion.com and Dawson on Sprint ION with interesting comments on their developing VOIP technology: multichannel.com more DSL noise: americasnetwork.com Nortel SS7/IP initiative: americasnetwork.com for our CTO: americasnetwork.com And to clarify a previous post's postscript, here is my response to someone who thought I might have heard something about Gates/Allen and WinStar, which I have not: "...simply a postscript suggestion all my own - with nothing leading me there save a knowledge that all in computerdom know that the next leg up for boxes, chips, software and "billions in pennies everyday"-content is highbandwidth network connections. That Gates and Allen have poured billions into cable and satellite TX, establishes their commitment and vision. They don't care HOW the bandwidth gets there, they just want it soon. And stodgy Bellheads aren't known for their ability or willingness to deliver anything soon, or at the behest of anything other than THEIR exclusive best interests. So IMO, WCII's pioneering drive could WELL inspire participation by any NUMBER of fabulously wealthy, motivated communication luminaries. Gates and Allen are simply the obvious..."

I really wanted HR, but I guess IR will have to do. If we can work the word Internet into the company name we can probably just call it quits after the IPO and skip all the hard stuff.
