There are too many avenues of delay in the current system.

So if you play that out, it's going to be a long time before we can bring a competing option to consumers and break the cable monopoly.

We might as well be flying a plane with a banner behind it announcing everything that we're doing.

We try to make people sticky by moving people onto the broadband platform and getting them into the bundles.

We're working to extend the network in Manatee County. We're not sure exactly when it will be ready, but it will be soon.

Most have service. There may be a straggler or two in there, but by and large we think we've got it licked.

We're not trying to usurp or go around the municipalities. We're just trying to get a competitive option quicker.

The demand has not been super high yet.

We said to people all along that there was no way we could raise our rates 20 percent year-over-year and keep our customers.

We are getting better the more we work on this. We realize we have a lot of work going on out there.

At this pace, it's going to be a long time before we can bring competition to the market.

It's not like a promotion to try to get new customers to the service; it's a tool to try to get customers from leaving the service.

Throwing that in the mix just further complicates the issue. We want to go where the market is, rather than by government fiat.

I don't think that those (services) are going to steer people to make a decision to take one service or another. Ultimately, the price is the most important thing.
