We believe the consequences for other Bells, particularly AT&T - Verizon/MCI's traditional enterprise competitor - is less clear, as questions remain about whether and when they would be eligible for the relief, though we have no doubt that they will push for it." --------------------------------------------------------------------- PrimeTime Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- Close Pts. + % Chg 52-Week T 26.92 0.20 0.75 % 21.79 - 28.82 BLS 34.28 0.34 1.00 % 24.32 - 35.25 CVC 26.45 - 0.10 - 0.38 % 22.50 - 33.90 CBS 25.08 0.30 1.21 % 23.85 - 27.45 CCBL 7.28 0.28 4.00 % 4.77 - 8.82 CHTR 1.07 0.04 3.88 % 0.88 - 2.00 CSCO 21.42 0.01 0.05 % 16.83 - 21.85 CMCSA 26.59 - 0.13 - 0.49 % 25.35 - 34.50 CSGS 22.66 0.28 1.25 % 15.74 - 24.76 DTV 16.07 0.05 0.31 % 13.17 - 16.79 DISCA 14.37 - 0.10 - 0.69 % 13.51 - 16.30 DISH 29.19 0.22 0.76 % 24.44 - 32.33 GMSTE 2.98 0.01 0.34 % 2.24 - 4.58 GE 34.53 0.19 0.55 % 32.21 - 37.34 IACI 30.38 0.03 0.10 % 23.49 - 55.50 L 8.04 - 0.03 - 0.37 % 7.59 - 10.64 LBTYA 18.56 0.21 1.14 % 18.30 - 52.32 MCCC 5.41 0.05 0.84 % 4.75 - 7.59 MSFT 27.15 - 0.59 - 2.13 % 23.82 - 28.38 MOT 21.81 0.13 0.60 % 14.48 - 24.99 NNDS 52.01 0.45 0.87 % 29.27 - 52.92 NWS 17.54 0.10 0.57 % 14.76 - 18.32 OPTV 2.53 - 0.02 - 0.78 % 2.07 - 3.45 OUTD 10.85 - 0.17 - 1.54 % 9.10 - 17.49 PAX 0.94 - 0.01 - 1.05 % 0.37 - 1.56 PLA 13.75 0.29 2.15 % 11.80 - 15.88 Q 6.67 0.05 0.76 % 3.30 - 7.48 SSP 44.61 - 0.13 - 0.29 % 44.44 - 52.91 SIRI 4.86 - 0.26 - 5.08 % 4.36 - 7.98 STM 17.85 0.09 0.51 % 13.96 - 19.90 TWX 17.12 0.06 0.35 % 16.10 - 19.00 TIVO 6.95 0.32 4.83 % 4.56 - 7.75 VZ 34.81 0.46 1.34 % 29.13 - 36.25 VIA 38.24 0.21 0.55 % 37.68 - 43.87 DIS 27.79 - 0.31 - 1.10 % 22.89 - 29.00 XMSR 21.12 - 0.24 - 1.12 % 19.66 - 37.31 ===================================================================== For all the industry critical news - see: The BRIDGE War Room - http://www.mbc-thebridge.com/research.cfm SkyREPORT - http://www.skyreport.com SkyRETAILER - http://www.skyretailer.com The BRIDGE - http://www.mbc-thebridge.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- -To modify your subscription to The Evening Bridge, visit http://www.mbc-thebridge.com/register.cfm We welcome your comments and suggestions.
