1 edit | Re: Sell Insight At An Absolute Auction ! said by satellite68 :said by AJICQ499087 :Insight would find out what the market price is for the company by selling by absolute auction. no, why is Insight being sold off a good thing? Well, I believe the reason Insight decided to get us very good service this year, after many years of lousy service, is because they wanted to fix the problems with the service so it can be sold for a profit.
I believe it's obvious Insight doesn't want to be in this business.
If Insight doesn't sell out, I'm afraid Insight might go back to giving us lousy service.

| Re: Sell Insight At An Absolute Auction ! speak for yourself! the service here has been rock solid for years. and how does upping the speed tiers (at a significant cost to Insight) make them a more profitable sale to someone else?
-more debt
-more monthly incurred expenses
and they did all this without raising rates? your logic is...refutable. | |

Dry Ridge, KY | Cincinnati Bell has too much debt to acquire Insight. I'm in there phone service area and they still can't provide ADSL as I'm 4miles from the CO. They are lagging behind in speeds and service. If their offer was accepted, service would deteriorate | |

| Re: Sell Insight At An Absolute Auction ! I noticed from »www.multichannel.com/article/CA6454823.html
"...Insight is in the middle stages of an auction for its 639,000 subscribers in Kentucky (Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green and Covington), Evansville, Ind., and Columbus, Ohio, according to cable-industry executives.
The bidding process is confidential, so executives at companies involved cannot comment on it publicly. According to cable executives familiar with the auction, though, the deadline for parties that placed initial bids to be told if they made the second round of bidding was earlier this month..."

| Re: Teenage relationship quote:
This whole insight thing to me reminds of my teenage years in relationships. It had good and bad days I wanted to break up and end it (cause of problems) then something happened then things have been going good.
OT, but relationships don't change much from that description.  | |

Schererville, IN | Bell? I didn't know there were any bells left. My guess is AT&T will merge them back in, and then buy Insight. | |

| Re: Bell? Cincinnati Bell was partly owned by AT&T back prior to devesiture. Granted, it was a fairly minor amount of ownership. The companies always played nice with each other. Including the joint venture of the original Cincinnati Bell Wireless.
Cincinnati Bell is just trying to show that they are still relevant. Most of their revenue is from wireless, IT Outsourcing services, and high speed internet these days.
An acquisition of Insight might have given them the guts to give Time Warner some competition. They have absolutely NO love for Time Warner.
