By comparison...

Charter's market cap is $45.34 million. Which means that they owe about 463x what the market thinks they are worth.

Total revenue in 2007 was about $6 billion, with net income (the "bottom line") a loss of $1.6 billion.

Not good news.

I believe most of the loss was because of interest payments on the loans.

Basically paul allen went nuts when starting out with charter and bought up whatever markets possible. They overpaid by a lot for many markets. When you pay thousands of dollars per subscriber it takes a while to make back your investment.

Not sure where they will go from here.

Canonsburg, PA		 Can you say pre-packaged chapter 11 bankruptcy? In this economy it's not like Charter's creditors have a choice.

however i take it the cable company cant be forclosed on. i mean besides the banks wouldnt want to take on running a cable company. that said the franchise authorities in charter areas had better start shopping out to Comcast, and TWC.
