on average we negotiate back and forth about six different bids.
the current company we're working with we agreed after three bids.

I look at it as a leading price. If interested, both sides dig in to firm up
their positions.

I don't know if I would buy someone who couldn't figure EBITDA. How could you
trust their books? Maybe if it was enough discount. On the other hand, if you
know all the cost involved you don't really need EBITDA to evaluate a business.
So many times it is cheaper and just as fast to just take the customers. For
a network that small it wouldn't take much.

I hear that is around 12x - 18x months of revenue and a heck of a lot
easier to calculate when ballparking. They know their revenue (or well, is
somewhat easy to figure out). They probably can't spell EBITDA.

When looking at buying a competitor, I'm wondering what everyone's
thought is on a price per sub? They don't do contracts and they use the
litebeam hardware.
I'm not looking for legal advice, just wondering what all of you think is
fair. This company has about a 90% take rate in the area they're in. Their
plans are $20, $40, and $50/mo.
Thank you,
