Hey, Frank. Not this holder. Best. Steven. PS I've gotten impossibly tied down at work. I have every intention of coming back to you after you were gracious enough to respond to my query a couple of weeks back. Cheers.

Well, I haven't received my offer yet. (damn online brokers...) But I 'm leaning towards tendering my shares and then buying them back. It seems like free money to me. Especially looking at today's price.

This is interesting: cedmagazine.com <snip> Today, roughly 36 percent of the loops in the wire centers where DSL has been deployed actually qualify for service, according to Larry Yokell, a former CableLabs employee who is now director of product development for MegaBit Services. The goal is to increase the number of qualified loops to 50 percent of the lines in deployed wire centers by the end of 1999. Ultimately, US West is aiming to serve between 90 percent and 95 percent of the lines in major Western cities. To get to that level, US West will have to use a combination of technologies, including DSL, ISDN and others that are being closely guarded at the moment, says Yokell.
