(site has been fixed...no more downtimes like before...new server, I hear...hopefully no more downtimes in the future)

Are there other reasons why GOOG should be so undervalued?  Please keep in mind that yes, the overall economic situation is weak.
However, these are valuations RELATIVE to the Industry it is in.  And, I know it is an arguable point, but GOOG is the de facto Industry leader.

I agree... Google may be something to look at. They are making several steps to incorporate there ideas and exposure with the telecommunications industry. If there is one thing I do know...... even in a troubled economy... when people need to make cut backs.... their cell phones will be last on the list...
