I am a strong believer that this company will win or lose on its own merits, its own performance, and by executing a strong business plan which is emerging.
The OS situation is only a problem if the company does not produce results and profit. Does anyone really believe that OS of 1 billion would be a problem for a multi billion dollar company. I believe GTEL has the potential to be a multi billion dollar company. Sanswire estimated the potential of the Stratellite to be 400-500 billion dollars of which GTEL could get a significant share. GTEL's ongoing business alone would achieve a billion dollars in revenue as it expands even without the Stratellite.
To date GTEL has been using shares of stock to entice vendors and investors including the company's latest board member to come on board. Stock and options are those vendors and investors payments for a growing, up and coming company. So far, vendors and investors, along with company officers are buying into the sales pitch. Seems that they see the potential of the company and are willing to provide cash, goods and services in lieu of cash for that potential.
The best way to make a billion shares irrelevant is to have a growing, profitable company. We shall see in the months to come whether GTEL is that company.
