re #169,
Mark,
I believe the current contract was a 1-year contract
that would auto-renew for another year unless someone called-in
and changed it. Something that might want to be checked on.

You mean, you think we should change it to a month-to-month contract, if
possible? That would allow them to up the rates on us at a month's notice,
wouldn't it?

Covad, the DSL provider, is in the business news today.
I do not have the story in front of me;
however, it was reported that Covad got a large cash
infusion from SBC, and Covad now believes it can operate into
late 2003, by which time Covad expects to be profitable.
My reading of this is that we can stop worrying about a
Covad business failure knocking Grex off the net for a year or so.

``expects to be profitable''? Is this an expectation by an overly optomistic
CEO? Or am I too cynical?

Could be, but considering the general direction of the telecommuncations
market, chances are the company will be bought out before that happens,
rendering this a moot point.
