Anon | You know Delta you are one ignorant son of a gun. You have no clue. You have no brain. You got nada. Read something other than the funny pages.
AND I QUOTE MYSELF:
This is why the little mom and pop shops focusing on ONE market can and will survive. Its the NETWORK which becomes the problem. Its the EXPANSION into new markets which sucks up capital.
Delta you just suck. |

Think about it... Customer costs $50 and is UP and RUNNING. Great bargain...
Flushcom paid $200 to install $200 for modem, and god knows how much time spent following the order to completion. Oh yeah, and advertising...
If every ISP could spend only $50 to acquire pre-qualified customers , well, there'd be a lot less bankrupt ISPs. |

I haven't seen an answer to that yet...I believe it's that the expensive and difficult part of the provisioning is already done in the case of the established customers they're buying. The customer line and router are in place, etc. It was providing the expensive install and router for free, or nearly free, that was pushing out returns on investment way into the future.
To hit a topic in a subsequent post...Does a company that builds a customer base like this really need to grow, other than by continuing to buy customers from other operations at an attractive price? Maybe one piece of that is that with the low-price players and market quickly evaporating, they can add new customers at a price that will allow them to recover their provisioning and install costs quickly enough for it to be viable, especially if they have a good reputation for which they can charge a premium. |
