You still didn't answer the question, Phill. You're avoiding it now.

What is it about direct questions that scares you so much?

You still haven't answered the question, Phill. Still avoiding. How=20

We know enough numbers. Churn increased .2% per month in the first
quarter. You LIED and said thats "No Big Deal", but multiply by 12
months and $61/month per user, and 16.3 million users, and its $27
million in lost revenue.


Then the other issue is Lauer promised SprintPCS would be a WLNP winner,
and a SprintPCS apologist (Bob Smith) now claims he didn't, even though
Smith posted about it last year; and likely SprintPCS was a loser in
WLNP, i.e. more ported out than ported in. But strangely the exact
numbers were not in the 10K filed for the SEC. And SprintPCS also
omitted its figures for average cost of new Cusotmer Acquisition.
Obviously embarressed to do that, since SprintPCS is still loosing
money, and always had high numbers but now without a separate tracking
stock, Sprint can hide more information.

And for all that Lauer got a bonus of 30 times his annual salary.

How big a bonus did SprintPCS give you Rob?

And can you prove that the .2% increase in churn was a result of WNLP?
