don't worry about the free ports, they make the money on the volume. A large portion of those ports are free and the rest are probably heavily discounted. -david uznick actually outside of a rep from a competing company claiming this, where do you get this "free port theory" from? asnd has loaded this quarter already from the last quarter, they will make the quarter and beat earnings projection. they have a reputable outside cfo for a reason.
