With the way their PE backers have been expanding their holdings, having trillions in the bank wouldn't surprise me. ;-)
Their PE backers also have been backing Zayo, one of the most successful rollups in telecom. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Reynolds" <j...@spitwspots.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 12:26:25 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Rise is Coming Just want to point something out real quick... A lot of people on this and other lists talk about JAB like they are some kind of massive, rolling behemoth with a gazillion subscribers and trillions in the bank. The kind of place that has it's own militarized security forces, Ferrari's for interns, crispy creme every morning, and hands out Sam Adams during lunch. Okay, maybe not that extreme, but anyway... To put things in perspective, if you were to talk to anybody who works at an actually large ISP or Carrier for that matter, "JAB is tiny". JAB is literally the size, speaking purely by number of customers, that many ISPs have in a few mile radius. I understand that they cover a fairly large area, and that some manufacturers in our industry will even " bend the knee " to get their business... And maybe rightfully so... But yeah, 250,000-350,000 sub's to many ISPs is a tiny drop in the bucket.
