Good point about AOL 100 hours free. But we don't know whether the "free offer" will work that way. And we won't really know whether this will work at all until 7 months after the first rollout -- so this new strategy not only guarantees losses for several quarters, it creates a new level of uncertainty about eventual profitability.

Before, all of us here were certain that CKFR would turn profitable and that profits would grow steadily, quarter after quarter, as banks signed up more and more customers.

Now, I see the possibility for profits that grow explosively, not just steadily.

But I also am less certain than before that there will ever BE profits.
