<I concluded long ago that GNET wants to make sure earnings are positive and that is more important to them than growing brand name with advertising dollars> I've mentioned my viewpoint before, to no comment. I would very much like folks' take on it this time.... gnet's strategy changed with PA's investment. gnet now becomes the portal for chtr. Therefore, gnet's customers/users are largely a captive audience (freely acquired by gnet). As chtr's customer base expands, so does gnet's (free of charge to gnet). And in PA's greater scheme of things, He reduces advertising redundancy for His Wired World, thereby maximizing overall profits. Hence the lack of a gnet ad campaign.... Am I thinking too small here? Or instead, am I making good business sense??
