 A High one until the installed base gets big enough to support it. And
IF it brings some Competition to the Cable Industry that is a HUGE plus.
Their Exclusevely Areas is a constant problem. The structure cost of
Sattelite delivery is somewhat high. And they also have a somewhat
Limited Bandwidth to deal with. As the market expands they will have to
begin Limiting their number of customers.
