Re: [802SEC] Get802 program has been restored to former termsand conditions through May 15
Geoff,
I am sympathetic to your feelings. The concept of some form of

aid our negotiations with the SA for some form of the Get802 program
after May 15.
Is there any progress in getting more substantial financial information
from the SA like monthly run-rates that I suggested several weeks ago?
