As far as my conversation with company and analysts, they have not factored in the cost of the network into the per/machine breakeven, so the number should be higher than projected. With the age of the installed base relatively short, it would be hard, by all accounts, to really judge the run rate of the machines. The total revenues of the installed base have to climb as they install more machines, but if you look at it from the 'same store' perspective, that is, machines older than 1 or 2 years, you will get a better perspective of how each machine produces. I'm not saying that it doesn't work, I'm saying that it is way to early to tell, and that the numbers are not quite all-inclusive.
