Hello to the thread, apologies for so many questions, but I'm a newbie to PAIR (bottomfishing) and I only have a very basic level of understanding so far...here goes: Can somebody give me sort of an overview of the status of the relationship between Pairgain and these rbocs and clecs (do I even have that right, is it the local carriers which have to do all the equipment upgrades--geeze, I only spend $20/month for local service, how can they affort to upgrade their networks?!) I saw something about PAIR and GTE going their separate ways awhile back? As some of these DSL rollouts get going in major metro areas, who are the top players so far--I get value line, and I have a list of PAIR's competitors...but I'm sure it is not complete. Finally, does anybody perceive that PAIR has a lead in HDSL2 that will makes it an attractive takeover target? Found a link to some hdsl2 stuff if anybody is interested. Well, thanks ahead of time...these were certainly the questions I should have asked before I bought the stock! Oh well, impulse purchase I guess...hope this turns out to be a double bottom at $7. internettelephony.com
