Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
I don't know the specifics of the Charter bankruptcy, but I've been working in telecom long enough to know that most traditional service providers do have to take on massive amounts of long-term debt to build out their infrastructure. Buildout of wireline networks is very capital intensive, involves large long-term loans, and does have a lot longer ROI than say, a wireless AP (most independent wisps build their ROI around months rather than years). On the other hand, the infrastructure holds its value a lot longer (deployed cable HFC will be commercially viable a lot longer than the current generation of PTMP radios, deployed GPON FTTN even more so (all assuming some swapouts of gear at the CO / headend every few years). Debt is necessary part of most telecom buildout, and lenders knowingly assume some of the risk in return for interest on their loans. The difference between Charter failing and other telco's / cable companies succeeding isn't business model per-se (they all have, at some level, the same business model) but is more likely the mundane issues that usually lead to business success or failure -- execution, etc... -Clint Ricker On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 6:17 PM, Marlon K.

Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
Always hated that about the bankruptcy system. How a company can do so many stupid things then file chapter 11, get restructured and basically continue operations with all their equipment all in place but with no debt. If I wanted a fancy house, car and all cool gadget and got it on the expense of the business if I filed chapter 11 because of to high saleries and spent to much money on business building, and equipment rollout I would find myself homeless, car less, customer less and no longer have a place to conduct business and my cool hardware sold off. Then you have companies like Charter now and Cable Wireless did 10 years back just as examples that did it and came out stronger then before and no debt and networks and customers in place and I bet not a single board member or upper management lost a single thing of their personal affect. / Eje -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
Well, they are THE providers of broadband, didn't you know.Too valuable to fail and well connected in DC. I read somewhere that between the bailouts - specifically banks and other financial institutions - and the loans that the taxpayers have gauranteed in the last year, along with the spending and new spending programs voted in for the future, there's something like 18 TRILLION dollars in liabilites on the backs of the taxpayers that's new since the end of January 08. And it's over 5 trillion in direct spending just for the 18 months between last july and the end of '09. That assumes no new spending. Someone I read, which if memory serves was a WSJ blog, calculated that we could just have let ALL the banks fail and instead, distributed 90,000 PER ADULT to the public and restarted with all new and solvent institutions and it would have been cheaper than the stimulus, bank rescues and bailouts. I know that with 180K in my family we'd have done a lot more stimulatin' than the present 3.3 trillion just passed. (this includes the cost of future programs which are NOT paid for in this bill, cumulative to the next pres election).I am as horrified as you at the gross mismanagement. But, just when you think you've seen it all... The president (CEO? COO? Chairman? not sure) of Netflix apparently has publicly stated he thinks his taxes should be raised, along with all his business cohorts.If I were on his BOD, he'd be sending resumes out and unemployed the day after he said that.

Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
Unemployment and a default on a mortgage i was gaurantor of put me in Bankruptcy in 1997.I didn't get to keep nuttin. I lost my home everything I had in the bank and was seriously whacked for a long time. And I've battled crooked collectors who have tried to collect discharged debt ever since. The RE lenders were the worst thing about the whole deal. Basically, that was all I owed was on two homes and yet, it haunted me for more than 8 years before the last one stopped trying to collect on the real estate loans. Two of the three involved were guaranteed by HUD, yet, rather than file for that gaurantee, they abdicated all rights to the proceeds of the RE sale and then fraudulently attempted for years to collect from me or sell those loans elsewhere. I lost track of the number of owners of those notes over the years. I had no credit cards unpaid or car loans or anything. Each time I had to dig up my BK judgement and prove it wasn't legally owed and they'd sell it again. Often it was less than 2 months between being persued by a different 'agency' or lender or owner. One guy managed to get someone to give him my work and my wife's work phones and then they started threatening all kinds of stuff. But, hey, look at the bright side.

Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
Then to think about all companies that reorganize and end up continue business like nothing happens except they screwed over their lenders and the owners, board of directors and upper management that caused the mess goes clean and free and get to keep it all. Sickening. And it does have nothing to do with Washington connections. It's part of the system and have crooked good lawyer and careful planning and preparations.

Re: [WISPA] What does this mean to wisps?
Have you seen anyone who wasn't connected to DC carry this out? I don't think my corp could get away with that. BTW, there's been some people, including a coule in Congress who want to change the BK laws for corporations, so that if they go BK, the people who lent money get to hold the stock of the new corp. I'll bet they'd get the incompetent fired and replaced. Although, sometimes it really isn't a case of mismanagement - or it was mismanagement previous to the people who get stuck with the mess - like Chrysler is right now. Daimler's to blame for 100% of their problems, it seems rather pointless to rip the guys trying to save it now...

Probably coincidental that the one market they're doing that (Saint Louis, MO) is the market where their corporate headquarters is located, and presumably where most of Charter's big execs live.
