Well, one issue I have is that GNET is too close to CNET as a sound byte. Not only do they sound the same, they look the same at first glance on the screen! CNET with its NBC affiliation is a stronger issue than GNET at this point so coverage on cnbc overshadows gnet. I think the thing to do is plan to never report anywhere near cnet reporting date again. I'm not quite sure how that can be accomplished since either company can change their reporting dates at will but scheduling a week apart would be a wise precaution I would say. Edit: not only that but cnet also reported .09 earnings, I just verified that. This morning I heard cnbc mention this and thought they actually confused it with the gnet .09 number.
