And as a public company they had a fiduciary responsibility to not sink too much into failing projects. And unfortunately, it was failing because they couldn't expand quick enough and pick up customers. --- "Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali <cite>Anarchy_Juiblex posted [p:883215645] in Comcast: &...
