private vs public

cox can get away saying this because they are a private company. They dont have shareholders to answer to.

Are you saying that you have to be private to be truthful about new product rollouts ?

I'm not disagreeing, just clarifying. A private company has stakeholders to answer to, just not public shareholders.

You tell us lol...

I think being private allows Cox to be more open about plans, and more realistic. They don't have to put out "bold" plans to keep timid investors in the ranks. The stakeholders all have easy access to the leadership and the vision plans, reducing that "timid" element.

That said, we both know just how secretive Cox can be about developments. lol

actually, a private cable company is one of the most dangerous. They can not give a fuck about their customers, who often have them as the only choice, and they don't have any shareholders to answer to. So they can be up front like in this case, or they can be secretive too.
