Marty, The long term debt is $1.95 billion right now and can be taken up to about $4 billion from the existing facilities.
With an average term to payout of around 7 years and interest rates around 13%, that would indicate a total interest payable of about $5 billion within 7 years.

With atlantic only newly available, pacific not yet available and americas not yet into revenue production, they have estimated $2.5 billion for 2001, from mainly Canada, USA and 9 months of partial atlanic cable revenues.

When the system is operational, they will be bringing in about $5 billion/annum; and for 7 years that'll be $35 billion.
It's not hard to see that $9 billion in bond repayment and interest, can be repaid out of that without much trouble and no rollovers of debt.

I figure that TSX is a 3 year investment and by then it'll be clear to most, that TSX is a winning combination of financial and technical acumen.
Greg Maffei has his own(borrowed) money in this and he hasn't sold a share yet. Does that tell us something or what.?
