Tavros, I don't disagree with your buyout comments but nothing will happen without Craig McCaw's and MOT's approval. Emphasis on CM. While I have gone back and forth on this matter, I have yet to hear a good reason why CM would sell NXTL at this point. The closest I can get to an explanation is that he needs the money for Teledesic. But where does that leave him as far as being a full service wireless company? And from what I've been reading about Iridium, I'm beginning to wonder about the LEOS financial viability. Digital wireless companies haven't been sitting on their hands and LEOS will have to fight harder than we exected for market share, cash flow and profits. It ain't as easy as it sounds and it sounds pretty hard to me. :-) Arnie
