Does anyone know what "Niagara Networks" had to pay to get on the list initially? Because it occurs to me that it might be an incredibly economical dump-and-pump stock manipulation. Sell Rogers short, advertise some mega-competitor, buy when the shareholders get jittery, then sell when the mega-competitor evaporates. Brilliant! If the cost to make an initial application was a few sheets of paper and postage, that's a pretty good deal! What a disappointment.

Going public after the bidders list was announced would have been the prime opportunity to start building a brand if they really had the cash to back it up. They could have hit the ground running after the auction. Too bad. Its a loss for Canadians. I had a bad feeling about this company when they stayed quiet as the numbers were first released.
