VOOM lags behind satellite leader DirecTV and Dish Network, which both have far exceeded the 10,000,000 subscriber mark and achieved profitability. VOOM, despite having deep pockets because of having Cablevision as a parent company, is on more shaky ground. The elder Dolan at Cablevision, Charles, has continued to fight for the VOOM system while his son James has been more in favor of pulling the plug. With VOOM subscribers reportedly around the 25,000 mark, it is easy to see why the number three satellite provider is tempted to pull the plug when looking at the numbers in black and white. On a deeper level, HDTV is just starting to make it to primetime in the minds of consumers. Cable providers, who own upwards of 80 percent of the pay-TV market share today, struggle to provide the latest equipment and services to their customers, something that is comparatively easy for satellite providers. For example, Dish Network and DirecTV had HD-DVRs way before cable providers did, although Comcast just announced a deal to add the industry leading TiVo service to its cable boxes. What this means for VOOM is there is plenty of opportunity if their value proposition is right.

And since the band isn�t so big on singles, it�s hardly thrilled about hits, either. But record companies must capitalize on their bands� most popular tracks, so for what it�s worth, here�s a �hits� CD from the ever hit-shy Korn.
