"This new ISP service may be what it takes to pay the bills for Curtis Mathes because it already has the technical infrastructure in place to handle the uniView customers."

On the other thread, you protested when I suggested that it would be difficult for CRTM to make a profit on their ISP operation, suggesting that making a profit wouldn't be necessary - that they would just sell the business to somebody else, citing recent takeovers. (This was, of course, the same reason cited by some people earlier why CRTM didn't need to make a profit on Uniview...)

Now you think that the ISP will "pay the bills".

Which is it? Do they need to make a profit or not?

BTW, do you think that "with the infrastructure in place" (which is yet to be proven to me, but I'll accept that for purposes of argument) that there are no further costs. Heck, we've got the folding table, we've got the cardboard and the magic marker, we've got the lemons and the water, now let's just sit here and watch the profits roll-in!
