Time for some demand side math. By MCOMs own numbers, there are 10 million lap top users in the 100 million person footprint that the 46 service area covers. For MCOM to be BREAK even on JUST an operating cash flow basis, they need 1.4 Million users. So the math says that MCOM expects to get 14% of the lap tops in it's service area. Uh just a bit ambitious, doncha think? And that's just to break even on an operating basis. MCOM's cash will be exhausted by early 2001. This adds up to the implosion under way...
