Thanks Dennis and here is something from the Yahoo thread: Wireless Wonder Net managers could satisfy their appetite for big pipes at small prices with Newbridge's point-to-multipoint wireless Broadband Access Solution. The service lets carriers blast customer traffic at up to 155 Mbit/s, courtesy of LMDS (local multipoint distribution services), a form of cellular radio operating at 28 to 40 GHz. What's more, Newbridge's offering dynamically reallocates unused bandwidth to other customers. That could cut costs, especially on bursty LAN connections. And only Newbridge Networks Inc. (Kanata, Ontario) furnishes service via an interface module in its 36170 ATM switch. “That saves on the cost of buying and integrating another device,” says Joel Bell, deputy chairman of alternative operator Maxlink Communications Inc. (Montreal), which uses Broadband Access to deliver services like telemedicine and video on demand. Why it's hot: Fast and efficient wireless local-loop service LMDS competitors don't offer as much. Spectrapoint 2100 from Bosch Telecom GmbH (Frankfurt, Germany) is limited to 2 Mbit/s. And the Reunion Broadband Wireless Solution from Northern Telecom Ltd. (Mississauga, Ontario) can't reallocate bandwidth, though it hits speeds of 155 Mbit/s. But potential buyers should be aware of LMDS's shortcomings. It has a six-kilometer reach and requires a line of sight. Carriers need to apply and pay for transmission licenses from the local government, which could delay rollouts. And though T1 (1.544-Mbit/s) service costs only around $2,000 for 100 to 200 end-users, equipment charges could add hundreds of thousands of dollars to that figure, depending on configuration.

My goodness Dennis! Within a week you have become a day trader and a chartist. Quite a combination... and hopefully a recipe for vast riches. Cheers! Chris

The chart looks OK, but fundamentally, the stock is lagging Cisco, Ascend and Lucent, who are all up. That is a bad sign, and one has to ask why. The sell-off has been orderly thus far, and may just be a consolidation, as you suggest. In particular, the volume has been relatively low during the decline. However, the worry is that the sector is going the other way, and when the rest correct, Newbridge will do more so. The stock is vulnerable short term, although long term the sector is predicted to outperform the market...Traders beware!..I'm still in as my sell price wasn't filled. I should've known better...Pigs get slaughtered.....Robert
