Re: not viable? really The numbers in this article are from 1 quarter, as I read it. If I'm wrong, then I apologize as it would be my mistake. I don't see how those numbers would be annual. TW took in over 4 billion in revenue for RR alone last year. 1.1 Billion would be an epic loss if it was a yearly figure.
Taking in 1.1+billion this quarter would be a about an 11% increase, considering they took in a total of about 4.1 Billion last annual year. This puts them on track to raking in at least 4.4-4.5 billion this year, if they keep their pace moving along, but with all the negative press and pissed off users and epic scare from metered billing... They may not.
I for 1 will drop them in a heartbeat if they bring metered billing here. And would go the extra mile to spread the word around to all my friends and neighbors just to help TW feel the pinch.
It's pretty obvious why new customer additions have trailed off the last few weeks... That's the same time frame TW announced they would start metered billing trials in several different states/markets. I wouldn't be surprised that people in the proposed markets started calling in mass to cancel their services out of fear. That alone is probably what dug into their new sub adds toward the end of the first quarter. I dare TW to bring metered billing to even more markets, and watch their subs start dropping like flies. If they are clueless to what is so apparent here, they are completely inept. |
