You still haven't answered my question: Show us how AT&T, owning over 20%
of Olivetti (and a board seat) has been able to control or influence it
(the answer is they haven't been able to).
Then show us, why AT&T would be able to influence Sun with only 7% of
the stock when it was unable to influence Olivetti with over 20%.
