Q&A:

where are the subs coming from? They are coming from Satellite mainly. The primary reason is the triple play and the fact that we carry more HD channels. We are going to add more switch channels around 64 ethnic channels. Where are verizon getting their subs? Verizon is not taking subs from us and not taking from satellite. Over all 50% of new subs are triple play.
