The town of Richmond held a public meeting with one of the Wisconsin representatives of the company last week. However, the representative was reluctant to provide information, was dodging questions, and did not take the concerns of their customers seriously. Frontier Communications is not providing advertised speeds and is unwilling to expand operations to resolve the issue. They are also unwilling to reduce bill amounts. _____________________________________________________________________________ Ticket: # 1282354 - T-Mobile towers Date: 10/22/2016 9:05:42 PM City/State/Zip: Atlanta, Georgia 30308 Company Complaining About: T Mobile _____________________________________________________________________________ Description I find it odd that everywhere I go T-Mobile seems to be working in towers in that area I called to complain and they already had their we are working on towers in your area excuse ready but they were telling me about my address in Atlanta in zip code 30308 because that was on file but what they didn't know is I

  • Cox Communications with a Sell Rating
    <DOH6&+22/QH0$1$*(0(17 3URVSHFW6WUHHW%R[ 1HZ+DYHQ&RQQHFWLFXW Cox Communications November 27, 2001 Paulo Silva, [email protected] Matthew Hobby, [email protected] Mike Yee, [email protected] Disclaimer: Please see the disclaimer at the back Copyright 2001 by Silva, Yee, Hobby. All rights reserved. of this report for important information. Recommendation: Sell Price: $39.57 Target: $33 Investment Conclusion We are initiating coverage on Cox Communications with a Sell rating. The outlook for the cable company is not as promising compared to some of its competitors. With the recent downturn in the economy, Cox has altered its strategy from acquiring new customers to cutting costs. This could hurt their growth potential in the long run, as its competitors continue to aggressively push into digital penetration and VOD capabilities. The following points which are described in more detail in the following section are our main reasons for issuing the sell rating. • The company’s shares currently sell at a relatively high Enterprise Value/2002E EBITDA ratio of 16.7 compared to its competitors, which trade around 14 times 2002E EBITDA. • Competitors are growing their subscriber bases more aggressively than Cox Communications. • Reduced marketing expenses and capital expenditures to deploy digital and VOD capabilities will limit growth potential. • The uncertainty over the expectation as to who wins the bidding for AT&T Broadband. Hobby, Silva, & Yee Associates Cox Communications Yale School of Management Page 2 Outlook For the first 9 months of 2001, Cox revenues grew 14% compared to the same period for 2000. We expect Cox’s revenue to grow at the industry average of approximately 14% over the next year and also expect higher EBITDA growth in 2002 of close to 16%.1 However, we expect growth to slow down to normalized revenue growth of 9% and EBITDA growth of 7% in the longer term.
