I talked to Ike Sutton CEO yesterday. Good things happening there. Used to be EXUS. A company dedicated to educating third world countries by satalite. That's still in the works, but they have revamped and become a holding company to finance that as well as build shareholder value. Mr. Sutton seems to be one that's sharholder friendly. Time will tell.
Today's NEWS!!!
