Hello Frank and others: I am surprised not to see any discussion of USW + GBLX (incl. FRO). At first blush, I would say that this deal will be DOA at the FCC. Given that the USW + QWST marketing deal of last year was killed in court, how could this even bigger deal be allowed to go forward? Best regards, Bernard Levy
