Re: No HD Boxes
Frank:
I try to maintain the attitude that it's nobody's fault, demand just outstripped supply.
An example: We just opened up to two more 'service areas' here in RI on January 6th to sell the video product. The announcement about this happening occured shortly after Xmas. The potential households we opened up to with these areas numbered close to 150,000.
So, what to do? We have about 1-1/2 weeks to order X number of set top boxes. What if not all of the customers decide they don't want to go with us. Now we're stuck with inventory that does us no good sitting on a shelf somewhere. No return on the investment. We order based on anticpated demand. We can't not sell the product to someone just because we don't have the materials to do the job.
Not the best solution, but it happened.

Huntington Station, NY | Between the IMG fiasco that went on, the shortage of HD boxes, their HD content being behind other providers, they better get their act together quick, otherwise they will be losing that amount of people! |
