Seems expensive to me! Lets say each home is one customer @ 90$/month for cable, tel, and inet. Thats about 3.2M. It'll take 12 years to recover just the purchase price and thats being optimistic assuming all 36,000 homes subscribe. Not to mention upkeep and expansions!
36,000(subs) X $90 X 12(months) = $38,880,000. Figures to be more like 1 year, 2 weeks & 2 days ($38,880,000 X 1.04423868 years = $40,600,000.) But yeah still kinda high. Typical buyouts are about 50% annual gross.
