@Home Investor Relations Gang- If you recall, a recent article published blowout subscriber numbers for @Home. I e-mailed @Home Investor Relations more than once about that and other issues, but never received a response. I even e-mailed Dubow at Forbes, but he failed to reply as well. This afternoon, I e-mailed @Home again, and they responded. I guess the e-mail subject title, "Please Respond to My Questions!" got their attention. I find it interesting that they located my other e-mails and answered all my questions in one reply. Now that's efficiency! I've never thought about that. Save all the e-mails from one particular source. At the end of the month, reply to the questions and comments from ALL e-mails. I wonder how my boss would like that one. I should try it! What a great idea, ATHM! Maybe some of the e-mail content is of interest to you. Ed I wrote- @Home: I have e-mailed you with numerous questions and only once did I get a reply. Please respond to this following question: Charles Dubow from Forbes reported on Friday, April 28th, that @Home had surpassed 700,000 subscribers. Is there any truth to that? If not, what is the current number? Also, I was told that earlier subscriber numbers would not be reported until the April 13th earning's report. However, sources published @Home's numbers (PRIOR to your release) to be in excess of 460,000. They were right on the money! If you didn't release the numbers, how did various news sources receive those accurate numbers and report them prior to your earning's statement? As a shareholder, I am really tired of never having anyone respond to my messages. I think this is extremely poor shareholder relations. Ed @Home replied- Ed, At Home Network publishes financial results on a quarterly basis. News from sources other than the company may stem from analyst reports, industry research, and the like. At the end of 1Q99, @Home had 460K subscribers. The annual shareholder meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 28th, here in Redwood City, California. The increase in the authorized share count will be placed before the shareholders at this time. The 2-for-1 stock split should happen subsequent to this meeting. You should receive shortly an annual report and proxy in the USmail if shares are held in your name. In regards to the @Home service, I will forward your contact information to our customer service department. You may also contact your local cable service provider to find out when @Home will be available in your area. Thank you for your interest in @Home, investor relations
