Re: Yet more evidence...
I wouldn't count all of their areas country or rural by far. St. Louis by far is not country or even rural. Charter got too big too fast and the only way they are the size they are is by picking up areas from other companies they didn't want.
But yet TWC services LOTS of rural areas in Ohio and i don't see them having any problems. Charter just has issues with spending too much money and not making anything. |

if they are making plenty of money then they would be able to service their debt. hottboiinnc is right: they got too big, too fast. buying too many cable plants for too much money.
of course, bankruptcy will help them! |

| You are right, they paid too much for the systems they bought. That along with the shady upper management team they had really killed them.
I think Neil and the current team can turn it around, but they have a lot of work ahead of them to do so. |

Charter does make plenty. They just have the debt load. After Chap11 I can see them coming out a lot better. |

After Chap11 I can see them coming out a lot better. my point is that anyone can make money if you wipe out their outstanding debt. even someone with 100k in credit card loans and a million dollar mortgage with an average job can "make" money if you simply erase their debt. it's more important to look at what got them into that situation and avoid it in the future. |
