Great 102 question!


There has been NO DEAL announced yet -- it's "discussions" at this point.... so we won't know what the deal looks like until they reach one.

At that point it could be "dilutive" -- diluting the current shareholders value... or it could be "accretive" either immediately or in the near future -- which would be good for shareholders.

We don't know if it's an all cash deal -- a stock swap - or part of both of those. We just have to wait and see.

Also - there may be "regulatory" issues.... again - we don't know that now... but the government might make them sell off certain assets or divest certain markets so as to keep things competitive.
