Tom - Math exercise #2 1) When Franklin took over the Bosnia network, the network was active and was bringing in "over $100,000 per month" (June 12 Press Release) 2) This give us a handle on solving for the MINIMUM per-minute income (If the minutes have grown in the meantime, the $/min solution we get is actually LOW). Frank's message says 2000 minutes per day (in August) average for 11 earth stations. In a month, this is 2000x11x30, or 660,000 minutes - which says our minimum is 10/66 dollars, or 15 cents. 3) However, with the Harris switch, WE ARE NOW SUPPLING ANOTHER MONEYMAKING PART OF THIS EQUATION, and, furthermore, whereever possible we will distribute the calls using Tempests. 4) How much more we add on to the 15 cents/minute is anybodys guess, but the 15 cent base is pretty firm. My WAG (wild-assed-guess) is it should be at least a dime additional, or up to 25 cents/minute. 5) "September shows 30% growth rate over August" (June 12 Release) 6) With all this, we get reasonable estimate for the present income of the Bosnian network of about $220K/month, or $2.6M/year, AND it's growing like mad.
