Auric, back-of-envelope says you're off by a factor of ten regarding the number of subs required to break even on cash flow. We cannot be clear re: the threshold yet, since most costs you see are the one-time capex to build the network. Opex is much less, but unknown for maintenance and later upgrades. You still don't know the difference between this existing network and the proposed 3G systems, do you? What's that you say about 'doing ones homework'? HDR is a POS that won't do the half of what some folks think it will, and it certainly won't be competitive with Ricochet. Time to cover your shorts, don't get too cocky to the downside. Noticed the NYSE short interest is at an all-time high of over 4.6 BILLION. Over-extended shorts here should be over 3 million through Nov.10 trades, soon we'll know. Toasted shorts coming up this spring.
