Steve, If I recall correctly, even way back when when I was with WCII, we had some licenses for Fairfield County, in which my office is located. Can someone check this? The reason I say it "appears", is because last night as I was leaving the office some apparent "workmen" were into the ceiling panels in our lobby, and there's been quite a bit of activity on our roof top parking deck. I asked them what they were doing and they said: installing fiber for D&T. I laughed and told them that I knew a fair amount about that stuff, having been in the telecom business. Then I ride the elevator to the roof, thinking as I'm going, hey wait a minute, I have'nt seen anyone digging up the ground around here, and as I emerge from a roof lobby into the parking lot (one I rarely use) I look up and see two, 24" dishes installed on the roof lobby I usually use (but never look up). We are on a hill here and from the roof there is no interference with trees, the way each dish is pointed. So, it is a preliminary conclusion. If I see the guys today, I'll ask. Regards, Barbara

Excerpt: But when we evaluate the size of the market opportunity for satellite telecommunications, the quality of the management team led by Mr. Schwartz, and the leadership position the company will have when the system is finally up and running, we choose to forego an earnings history in favor of getting in on the ground floor of a stock that could hit the heavens.
