Paul, nice to have you with us. Are you thinking that the IPO's should lift Wstl if alls well? Not the IPOs specifically, but I have been working with NorthPoint who is rolling out SDSL from Copper Mountain in all the major metropolitan areas coast to coast. I have gotten quite an education in the difficulties of the LEC business. The effect this has on Westell is still significant. NorthPoint and Covad are both moving aggressively into the NorthEast Corridor to offer DSL services. Bell Atlantic cannot sit back and let the CLECs get a jumpstart on them. NP and Covad already have a presence in the major Northeast cities and are expanding their footprints, this puts the onus on BEL to rollout their DSL asap, and that means orders for Westell. <mostly doing PR for CLECs doing DSL rollouts> I hear Wstl is in need of a little help here. GGGG I have spoken to Westell before about doing PR for them, but I was exclusive with one PR agency until recently and I couldn't compete. I am freelance once again and may contact them. LOL... the last time I spoke to the Westell PR guy he was writing the press release for the Westell acquisition of Amati (which never happened). Any ideas if Wstl will be used by one of these outfits in lets say NY city? No, NorthPoint uses Copper Mountain and Covad uses Diamond Lane, (both private companies).
