It will leak out but would have made for a better PR rather than a letter to shareholders.
JMHO of course.

Thanks for link Mr. Tip

Penny,
Frank's letter states that info for the general press will be coming out before and after the convention. Perhaps his letter was just what it said it was--an update for investors and a reminder that we have the power to enhance QBID's negotiations RIGHT NOW when it is really important before RCN's first broadcast. I spoke with several different cable companies today. One wanted not only my name and phone number, but wanted to know why I was interested in QTN and if I thought it would be accepted. I told him about the free access for Aids patients, the consumer power of this untapped audience and that QTN would provide a resource for families pertinent to their individual circumstances--such as children of gay parents. I also emphasized that is was not porn--it is a family channel. I also reminded him that MTV/Viacom/LOGO will be airing next year and QTN being first will set the benchmark. In other words--buy from us now or from Redmond later. He took notes and promised to forward my comments to the appropriate persons. I also did some emails. It did not take much time. Actually, it cost me nothing--not even a stamp--and it could possibly pay me big dividends in the future. GLTA Go QBID!!!!

Who needs a bullseye.

whiz,,we are in the launch!!!
sweeeeeeet!

Thank you for contacting Comcast Cable of Reading regarding the addition
of Q Television Network to the Comcast line-up. Currently, that channel
is unavailable in your area.

Cable, Satelite & other media companies send out 'AUTOMATED" responses. Please understand the difference between that and a personal response. The most usual responses are something in the lines of "we don't have it available but we've added channel from peoples feedbacks."

I do however thank you and others in contacting cable companies. We are the ones who will help QTN lead the way.

Why pay employees when you have investors who can help?

I wish I knew which ones but doesnt matter I guess knowing there are other carriers even if they are small ones is definitely a step in the right direction.

I have a feeling the big carriers are gonna sit and watch and see how many of RCN's 486,000 customers subscribe to QTN. which is kinda why I have always expected this to be more of a slow growth long term situation.

still hanging in for a buck though even if it takes 3 or 4 years.

sorry I cant help call the cable companies at the moment cause I can hardly speak had a wisdom tooth pulled.

I had not long ago though called comcast in seattle and cox cable here in oklahoma. I will call direct tv(which I am a customer of) next week and I will call cox again(which I still have my fathers cable service in my name)

My sister-in-law lives in Philly and she contacted RCN who said that indeed it would be available the first week of September and that they have had a lot of calls regarding QTN. She also saw a RCN cable service truck and stopped to confirm this with the tech which he did.

I know things aren't going to well with RCN financially but personally I think this is a great opportunity for them. They are at a point at which they will be able to help promote and provide a service that none of the other cable companies like Cox, Comcast, Time Warner and such does not provide at this time. Controversy sells. I am sure that once the larger cable companies see's the actual potential that QTN has to offer, and they will also be signing contracts. They are essentially getting a free market analysis for the products potential by observing the response that RCN gets for QBID....good business if you ask me.

I'm in no hurry to sell my shares. As long as the news continues to be good and they keep following through with their actions I will be in. I've traded her for position since February and at this point I am content to sit and watch QBID take off.

My guess is we will continue to see more consolidation until we get confirmation that RCN is actually advertising QTN as a subscription service. We may get one more shake but with Sept. 4th just around the corner it will be short and sweet.

By October I hope we start to see more contract opportunites and Franks acknowledgement that indeed a buyback has taken place....if this is the case then I will make an early conservative prediction of .05-.07 by the middle of October but this is dependant on the number of contracts signed, subscriptions, advertisers and the buyback so if the news keeps getting better we could see a much larger gain. With the election in November and gay and lesbian marriages being scrutinized across the country, QTN has to make this happen now.

Patience is always the hardest part-----best of luck.

thanks

Patience is the key right here with Q!

September isn't that far away and the more and more closer we get to our air date, the more and more I see how far things have moved since Feb. 2004

We are almost there, just a few more weeks...
