Arnie, Excellent summation. I do recall a note in the article though that the subscriber estimates may be a bit optimistic. I kind of doubt it. What were the naysayers saying in about 1981 about PC's? Speaking of PC's... <<6. Aerial Comm. has an arpu of $70. (NXTL's arpu is competitive with the digital industry and can be expected to remain at these levels. As prices "drop", arpu won't but more services will be offered for approximately the same arpu.) >> --In 1984, you could buy a nice little PC (or was it PC jr) system for about $2K. Today, you can buy a nice home PC system for about $2K (which would have the approximate power of a 1980 mainframe! Remember, we went to the moon with the computing power of today's hand held calculator!). The PC makers sure haven't lost much money over the last 18 years now have they (unless you're Apple (food fight to follow))! Now, if I just had the cash to pay the taxes on all the capital gains I made last year. Unfortunately, all my NXTL is tied up in retirement accounts and that is almost 20 years away. Kevin
