I presume you took exception to my counter of your claim that NZRO, combined with JWEB, being "the nation's second largest ISP. . . " to which you provide this Business Wire. Business Wire is just a wire service. Do you know what a wire service is? More on point, do you know the source of the wire? If you don't, look to the dateline and look to the contact listed at the end of the wire. Yes, its NZRO and JWEB. So, in short, the link you provide demonstrates nothing other than the claim is not your claim, but the claim of NZRO and JWEB, more likely, Mark Goldston's.
I'm hear to say that such claim is ridiculous; I don't care if NZRO ran the same BS on Business Wire. The FACT of the matter is that such statement stretches the TRUTH of the matter significant for the lion's share of NZRO's "registered users" can in no way, shape or form" be considered subscribers. At this juncture of the industry, where the free model is now DEAD, the burden is upon NZRO to prove those "registered users" to be actual subscribers. By today's statistics, the answer clearly is no.
Again, the claim that NZRO/JWEB is "the nation's second-largest Internet access provider (after America Online, but substantially ahead of Microsoft, EarthLink, and AT&T Worldnet)," is preposterous.
Good luck with your extremely risky and speculative strategy. |
