you got that right brother, it doesnt take that long to cut a cable deal when you have something that will fly. this thing is a tko....... down and out....... no come back no rematch.......

Keep dreaming big, because this POS is not moving anywhere anytime soon.

Here's what is not making any sense... if Winick's explanation for zero revenues holds true, what makes anyone think they are going to turn revenues when TFN hits America?
TFN is all over every satellite and cable provider in Canada. And from that major coverage, BKMP is making zero dollars. So how is it going to be any different when TFN comes to America?
If they are making zero dollars with full Canadian coverage, how they are going to make dollars from full American coverage? The stake will remain the same (20%).

that is a good question nirvana. my only explanation is maybe that tfn and bkmp have a clause stating that bkmp doesnt recieve revs until a certain point of profitability. i am not sure really but we can only hope that bkmp will one day recieve a trickle down of profits if tfn becomes profitable. i think when we get to america and go international it will be hard not to make big $$$. sandy has a shady past we all know that and we would like to think that this time it will be different but only time will tell. a reverse split of the prefereds could be really sweet for shareholders that stuck this out. i am hoping that we open trading one day at .0001x.0002. folks dont forget we also have the wagering network that has not been talked about for some time. i wish you all the best of luck and i am in this for the long haul i am a true investor to the moon or down into the basement of no return.
sincerely your bkmpidiot 34 million and a few gazillion prefereds long and strong.

Most of us are banking on a run when the contract PR comes out. If you don't think it will happen, then go find another stock to gamble on. You are spending WAY too much time caring about a stock that you think is a POS. Go worry about your own POS. How many of us do you see hanging out in your thread reminding you on a daily basis that you are never going to break even on your POS?

Nirvana, Whats with all the sexual identity references?? Don't ponder BKMP's future. Ponder your remarks and your own sexuality hangups....BKMP will be just fine!

Nirvana, we get it, you think BKMP is a POS that is never going to run. You have said it hundreds of times. We have heard you and disagree. When are you going to realize that you are beating a dead horse and move on to save some other poor naive investors?

everyone try to get along. we are either going to bank on this or we aint so lets just see how this pans out. until then it is always best to try to keep the board focused on discussing the actual company and stock and keep the insults and sexual references to a minimum. there are other boards for those purposes.good luck today. i think we get a bit of volume today not sure why but just a guess.

It is funny how the bagholders wield personal attacks and refuse to deal with the real issues and answer the real questions...
Why can't you explain how BKMP is going to generate revenues in America if they cannot even generate revenues in Canada after having Canada completely locked down?
What is going to make it any different?

Sandy said the real money comes when BKMP is sold. I think he means that the real money comes when BKMP sells its 20% of Blackout Communications. Part of the money from that sale will be given as a dividend to the preferreds and part will be kept by BKMP for future adventures.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If you have a viable business model why would you sell before your business model reaches full maturity?

Nirvana.......shhhh.....think TFN creates the revenue and the revenue runs the company........It hires new people and enhances a buildout that has been nothing short of spectacular in 1 year. TFN has visibly, been pumping $$ into expansion. Just look at the hires, the internet presence,the store,the contracts etc. Was that all free??? We are 1 year old! AS the company grows and as revenues grow and subscriptions grow, and as retail grows, as radio grows etc, the BRAND (TFN) becomes very valuable and a likely takeover target at a price exponentially higher than todays. Keep up the good work......price will take care of itself and is currently driven by impatient flippers and weak hands...Someone is getting a lot of very cheap shares IMO

Dude, BKMP owns 20 percent of TFN/Blackout Communications and all of its offshoots. BKMP is WORTH 20 percent of TFN/Blackout Communications and all of its offshoots. As TFN/Blackout Communications grows and expands and becomes an international monster, BKMP will be worth 20 percent of whatever that monster becomes. It is not a hard concept to figure out.

What is ANYTHING worth? Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. If you think TFN/BKMP is not worth anything... you need to take your business elsewhere. How is that for a pump?
quote:Originally posted by Skyman: "It is not a hard concept to figure out" OK, what is TFN worth right now?

Wow.. I waltz in, expecting to see triumphent raves from the likes of maxi and rasica.. Surely all their predictions came true.. surely they were all rich by now.. surely noah's had better luck with BKMP than he had with QBID... But alas, I see it was me who was right.
