That's true to a point. Again.. Remember Enron? Global Crossing? Worldcom?
Hopefully Sarbanes-Oxley will change this and make being a publicly traded company a valid argument. ------------------------ Regards, Sean Milheim iDREUS Corporation -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin McAteer Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 3:34 PM To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-biz] Now a question about carriers ... Because if you are publicly traded company in the US, the FCC requires certain disclosure. For example, publicly traded companies must file quartly financial statements, including a Balance Sheet and Income Statement, with the FCC. These documents are then made public. This provides a great deal of transparency into the companies operation and financial health (ie. stability). Thank You, Justin McAteer Sales @ Digium, Inc.
