The original company was delisted by NASDAQ in 2002 because it "failed
to regain complaince with the market value of publicly held shares and

As ridiculous as what they were doing seemed in 2002, the upstart that
acquired them is making the same mistakes on a bigger scale. The
old-timers who survived the old company collapse are jumping ship

cavalier arrogance that sunk all the CLECs and ILECs that collapsed when
they were just getting started.
