The May shorts are out?

What were the April shorts? 1.4MM or so? Meaning some have covered. Like I said back then, I don't think it's a good idea to bet on a short squeeze to push things up... IATV is going to have to rise on its own merits. If they were to give us a darned date for rollout... 3Q99 means sometime in the next 35 to 127 days. If IATV is going to rollout, you'd think that they'd have to sign up customers in advance of the rollout (unless they give the service away free to everyone for a month, sort of a try before you buy, in which case they could announce it a week or so before the rollout). If they're going to roll out in the next 127 days, you'd think they would know the freaking day that it was going to roll out and would be able to tell us. But I digress. Again though, keep in mind that even though the figures came out today, they are already 2 weeks old. This latest drop could have been fueled or at least aided by shorts who shorted the day of the annual meeting when no definitive news came out. One of these days we'll be able to get daily short interest in real-time, and THAT would be useful to know. -Mike
