The announcement is nice but what matters is revenue growth. How will this announcement affect GNET's revenues. Please remember that advertising-based models are not seen by the Street is a long-term means of success. The question that needs to be answered is What is GNET getting (other than eyeballs) from the broadband cable deal? Does it get a portion of the cable subscriber income stream or what?

Rtev,

Say you had a small business of 8 employees each requiring internet access, or a household of 4 computers each online. Compare the economics of DSL and wireless v.s cable access. Its a no brainer. No one is questioning the solidity of DSL, or the wireless or even the futuristic fiberoptic last mile, but for now and for some time cable should predominate because its here and its inexpensive.
