@speakeasy.net		the Paul Allen effect?

It is also possible that managers believed that Paul Allen would keep pumping in cash no matter how much they lost.

 Paul Allen...
First, he killed of TechTV (but it wasn't much of a loss, because the former show hosts now have gone in their own direction and started a number of great podcasts.)

Then, he killed Charter (which also shouldn't be too much of a loss, because they have some of the worst customer satisfaction levels in the industry.)

Perhaps we should be thanking him?
