if there are 9 billion o/s then that means that Frank has better then 9 billion shares. we where autorised for 15 billion shares. if 9 are out Frank in less then half of the shares. he would only have 5.5 billion. if someone some how where to accumulate 6 billion shares, they would have control of the network.

so im hoping that the 9,.5 billion that is o/s is not accurate.

correct me if I'm wrong here. but I'm hoping that we have inaccurate info on this becasue Frank is trying to buy back at discount prices.

One of the things we often hear on this board about gay people is that they have lots of money to spend because they don't have to spend it on raising and educating children. I just wanted to point out that while most gay people don't have children to support, they also don't have children to rely upon when they retire. Neither can we rely on spousal Social Security. In general gay people have to be more careful about saving for their retirement years.

Just read all of the posts from yesterday and today...all sounds wonderful. Frank must be ecstatic over QTN's airing...He's worked a long time to make this happen.

Wish someone would write in to Allstock if they are able to view QTN...would be REALLY appreciated. I am especially curious about any advertisers on the network.

Wondering what news will be out Tuesday...I think we would all freak if Frank announced a new carrier and advertisers...and more air dates. He could give us that BIG PR we've been waiting for... sure would be SWEEEET to read.

It would be a kick to see this thing run again (now that I've reloaded my shares) and make another good profit. Sure would be incentive enough for my wonderful hubby to listen to me rattle on about Frank, advertisers, carriers, pr's, NY office, our retirement and my investor-friends. LOL

MW and Crosseyed...aren't you guys getting ready to go on vacation?

Guys, I know that most of you read my post last night and said this is total BS....Trust me, I have been there and done that. There are some things that I will confirm:

1) I talked to someone yesterday at about 7:30 Eastern who said their name was Frank Olsen.

2) In our conversation he said San Fran launches at 11:58 PM
Satursay night.
3) New York Next week.

I did not press for PR's and things of that nature. He seemed like he was excited, but drained at the same time. The problem he said RCN was having, had to due with the TV Guide Code...

Now I am not saying that this will happen 100 % becuase I still have some reservations about how things have been handled, but I swear on everything in the world that this conversation took place. I have been asking since yesterday if anyone is in San Fran with RCN and to my knowlege only 1 person has said yes so far( and they dont have rcn, their friend does).

Curious minds want to know.

The NASDAQ National Market imposes minimum bid price, quantitative and other criteria in determining whether a company will be permitted to list its stock on the NASDAQ.

Initial Minimum Bid Price for Stock : The stock must have a minimum initial bid price of $5.00, and must later remain at or above $1.00.
Quantitative Requirements : A company must have net tangible assets of $6 million and net income in the latest fiscal year or two of the past three fiscal years of $1 million. In addition, these companies must have a public float of $1.1 million, a market value of the public float of $8 million, a minimum of 400 shareholders, and at least three market makers.
Capitalization Alternative : Companies that do not meet the quantitative requirements may nevertheless be listed on NASDAQ if they have a market capitalization of $75 million or total assets of $75 million and total revenues of $75 million, an initial minimum bid price of $5.00.
Peer Review Requirement : The practices of all independent auditors for companies listed on the NASDAQ are subject to monitoring under a peer review system. Also, the quality control systems of accounting firms of NASDAQ-listed companies are reviewed by peers every three years.
NASDAQ SmallCap

Small capitalization companies can be listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market if they have:

net tangible assets of $4 million, or
$50 million market capitalization, or
net income in the latest fiscal year or two of the past three fiscal years of $750,000.
In addition, these companies must have a public float of $1 million, a market value of the public float of $5 million, a minimum of 300 shareholders, and at least three market makers. Also, these companies must have an operating history of at least one year or $50 million market capitalization. The initial minimum bid price is $4.00 and the same ongoing minimum bid price and peer review requirements as are set forth above apply.

So what's the big difficulty with RCN getting the signal?

This was just posted on QTV News!

Frank Olsen announced today that despite a gigantic effort by the staffs of RCN and Q Television Network, technical difficulties between the uplink facility in New Orleans and the operating units Of RCN caused the launch of Q Television Network to be delayed by a few days. The launch which was scheduled for 12.57 P.M., September 4, 2004 will be restarted as soon as these difficulties are worked out. Q television has received assurances from all parties concerned that it will be “up” before the end of next week.

Not that it's a big deal but I'ld sure like to hear a few posters tell me they're watching my network.

Maybe they don't have a satellite antenna looking at IA-7 (formerly Telstar 7) or don't know how to fit QTN into the EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) since QTN is not listed yet. We are uplinking at our end....

I'll take your word fot it.

Matter of fact I'll take Frank's word as well,,,

2. So "end next week means" This week or week after that.

I'm confused and frustared, can anyone clear my mind. I cannot sleep properly 'cos of Qbid.

Like I said, some of it is strategy, but mostly because they weren't 100% ready.
I didn't want them to launch if they were not ready. I told you guys not to get your hopes up.
I just hope the PPS stays where it is or keeps going upwards...

Anyone that sees it move down, will probably sell in worries, bringing us to a new support level lower then it is now.

Rest assure, New highs will be made end of month or in October. I never said, Sept. because I knew charts weren't ready, plus a delay would prevent it.

I'm sure this surprised Frank as much as it did us.

Take a deeeeeeep breath, now exhale. Try to understand that new technology is never perfect at launch.

Yeah, but this should be old hat by now for both parties. RCN receives signals for dozens of channels, if they are professionals I'd think they should have the process down by now. Same goes for the signal provider. The distribution agreement was anounced July 21st. They've had over a month to work out the bugs.

Of course, I don't know what the "technical" problems are so there may be something unique in the situation but I don't know why there would be unless it's something on QTV's end of things. They're the only one this is new for.

I guess we wait (some more) and see.

I checked out your link. Since the date was just the year, I went to the Cableworld Archives. This did take more time than I had expected. I had to go back through weeks and weeks of articles and publications. But, like you, I was determined to locate it.

There it was in the CableFax June 21, 2004 edtion--before the satelite launch and before the RCN contract announcement.

Congratulations, you seem to have graduated from innocuous questions to focused DD.

RCN is in the process of reorganization. Sure I can assum where technical problems are. Won't be the ordinary ones, right?

I'm taking this opportunity to try and join my Q family here in the million share club this week. I was start to feel like I wouldn't get the chance (I'm almost there!) but this delay could do the trick for me. Everyone enjoy the rest of their weekend.

For those of you that sell in a panic,,,I'm buying on Wednesday & possibly Friday!

When QTV's signal becomes available to the public & this thing goes crazy please don't expect to get those shares back for less than .25, .50 & $1.25!

Oh yea & thanks in advance!

Diana made a guess about the 15th being the date after the judge has had his say with RCN. That would give me another week to add to my shares.!

I too would like to sell some of my other stocks to put more into QBID. The expensive stocks may be up, but the momentum hasn't trickled down to the pennies.

I wouldn't wait to buy more for to long.
Like I have said, Frank said "Up and running by the end of the week" I don't think it will take that long. I think he is just giving himself enough time, just in case he needs it.
When we launch, It's to the moon!!!
