and throw another 2 billion away for 2 more years of operation to get from 300,000 to 600,000? WHen they need 1.5 million subs just to break even?mkwillia said:Okay, let's put this dream into a more realistic base. Let's say Voom can grow to 300,000 by the EOY 2005. This will tell us that a)the product is marketable and B) most in important - Investors can point to that curve and justify more funds. (which the SEC report is really pointing out).
Bruce is fundamentally right with his numbers, but it would NOT cause Voom to deny customers. They (Voom) would probably file another SEC report (one with a more positive twist) detailing their growth in business and customer base, glorify their successful marketing strategy, and open discussions about major investor support. I don't think the door would close due to a subscriber upsurge.

Gimme those HD lil's now D*!!!!!! Pleeeeease!!!!!Sean Mota said:This is good -- competition --. Well as I said it before, I get all my locals through my antenna HD so this will not do anything for until their "robust" HD line up is made better than the competition -- VOOM. I am not going to get excited about locals HD although the capacity of HD is something to WOW you.

joemama said:More realistic? To get to 300,000 by EOY 2005 with no churn, they'd have to do about 17,000 a month. Other quotes I've seen say they have 1200 on a waiting list they can't install now. Does anybody think it's possible?![]()
txcruiser said:It's not possible, but I'm a realist. You'll find about 10-20 people (some people hate it when I use numbers that are really good estimates) on this board that are going down with the Voom ship. I understand why the moderator would hang on till they sink (after all he's the moderator of Voom) but I'm can't figure out the rest unless their favorite movie was Titantic.
