Thanks...great news... I saw something on CNBC this evening, but i had the volume turned down, so I am not sure what was said...I know that one of the reporters was talking about WCOM, Bernie Ebbers, and perhaps more buying by WCOM...did anyone out there see the segment? If so, please post synopsis. Thanks

Worldcom is flying on every cylinder with the exception of WIRELESS. And they've expressed a desire to be able to offer wireless to their business customers. They might bid on Nextel, Airtouch or even Vodafone, Anthony. Mike
