Seems about even if you only look at today's dollar value - what about the next 6 months the company is open? If the company is about to go under they wouldn't pay $100/sub... I believe in tit for tat. If someone wanted to buy my company, what I have worked for, I expect to be compensated for it and more plus what could be that I would no longer have. There is only one who can judge what that effort is worth and I won't do it without a whole lot of zeros. I can't say I have ever seen a competitor's AP. Or any competitor's service outside of satellite for my customer base. If they have something already, like the cable company, they often only call us looking for a replacement. Our problem is getting the people with no service the news about us. In the past it has been kind of like a wildfire (tell one person and they tell their neighbors who tell their neighbors, etc). I am one that disagrees with the government and big entities (corporations, society, etc) most of the time. I can not call myself a rebel. In my life time I have seen the US Government take such a great country into a direction most will agree is not good.
