perry-- <"Do you think CPQ will want control (over 50%)? May be better for Alta Vista in dealing with others that CPQ not have control. Regarding cash, do they really need the cash and would they want to disappoint current CPQ shareholders by not spinning off some shares?"> I think they will want control INITIALLY. Once things are running another 10 - 15% will be sold. Dealing with other companies should have little or no effect CPQ would only own it. No they do not need the cash but could use it for an ISP purchase. At this level shareholders are already disappointed and that should have little mid/long term effect. From here what difference does another 10% mean?
