Bill, thanks for the information and links - much appreciated.

It means that either TEAMS or EASSy has a big opportunity to change  
the story and status of technology stocks - another hsitoric  
dimension to the whole excercise.

May be Safaricom or TK or Wananchi would do it first but the  
important principle is not who makes it first but we must be sure it  
is DONE WELL and sets a precedent for others to follow.
