Actually, it *is* too late. That's what the 4-3 vote last night was: the Council has approved the sale. It's true that the deal doesn't close until the 30th, but Council approval is done. That's unfortunate. I was at the meeting last night and expressed, not for the first time, my concern over turning iProvo into a single provider network again. (That's pretty much what it was during the HomeNet debacle, which was the beginning of all the problems that have come since.) There does still exist a possibility that one side or the other won't be able to make the closing by the June 30 deadline -- if, for instance, Sorenson Capital finds some reason not to give Broadweave their financing -- but it's very unlikely at this point. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
