In their business, no one is valuing them on profitability. It's going to be done almost entirely on cash flow and growth in subscriber base. No one expects them to make any profits for some years - that's pretty standard in the network build out phase. So, I guess it's important for us to figure out how effectively they are signing customers up. In the NY/NJ area, they started with rather aggressive advertising. However, of late, they have slowed down. either it's not working - or they are deluged with more installations than they can handle. naturally, I hope it's the former!!! Anyone hear anything to support either view?
