Hi Richard; I sugjested the franchise plan early on, it is the only
way she has a chance and if she drags her feet and continues
to alinate users. and all nobody is going to want her name, she
better get on the stick and do the franchise thing fast too..that
window wont stay open much longer. The problem with the DREAM the
analcyst have is they don't know crap about the ISP bussiness..and
what it takes to really make one work..it's not easy pie in the
sky profits..the field is getting very crowded..aol is losing it's
base , I don't care what kind of lies they tell..I can tell by
the drop off in AOL address on the net..they were over bearing as
a Bulletin Board System ( BBS ) that's what they are a made over
BBS..and how the hell they going to get over that bad rap with
the real on-liners, they not going to live it down easy..the old
sysops not going to let them.
Dream is the word, pie in the sky..samething going to happen to about
80% of these internet plays that happend to the gamblig stocks
go take a look at them if you want to see the future of internet
stocks..you can't fill and grow the supplers at twice the rate
the base can ..and that's what is happening every body and his
brother want in on the gold rush..it's a dream..but the price wars
will be real, profits will suffer way worse..how long can she go
faking a profit, or the hope of one before people wake up.
