Heard some interesting numbers today. The average Rogers cable household spends about $200/yr. on movie rentals. With USA in a 50% revenue sharing agreement that would equate to approx. $220 mil in total revenues possible for USA annually. Has anyone heard how talks are going with other major cable providers?

Ian, Hate to be a "ball-buster", but if you go back to some of my previous posts i tried to warn you all on this one. I'm just glad that this time it didn't "burn" as many people as last time when it went to 2.95$ and then back to .05. Last time some people in Ottawa Ontario almost lost their homes, they were so sure that the company was going to sign a major deal, they took out second mortgages, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. In those days they were being touted as the next "IBM" or "MICROSOFT". Guess who was selling when the stock was between 2.00 and 2.95 last time?. Guess who was selling when the stock was between .80 and .90 this time?. Now, ask yourself this question, if the upcoming deal is so great why is the company not coming into the market to support it's own stock to reasonable levels? Regards, John
