| reply to Rick Re: I'd be surprised to see them file bankruptcy
said by Rick :It's been rumored for 10 years now and never happened and if anything times are better than ever for cable companies in general and charters revenue and customer growth this year is no exception. If anything, the trend away from landlines and dsl will only continue in the coming year..further strengthening their position. Ok, ok. Sidestepping the fact that (a) this cableco is more than $20 Billion in debt, and (b) its interest costs are more than double its operating income  what part of "corporation suckage" are you having the most trouble with - The noun or the verb?
Also, if you could spare a moment, how is it again (play it again, Sam) that a handful of cable companies - minus a few fingers - controlling everything is good? I'm still a bit fuzzy on that bucket of gobshyte. -- |
