SES laid off anyone that had IP Prime attached to their title. it was a pleasure working with all of the IP Prime and HD4 customers. I voiced my concerns about leaving the telcos high and dry. I think it is a play to get investors to cough up money. yeah about that customer service.

They have US based customer service and they have responded promptly to customer affecting outages. They interoperate with a variety of content and transport providers providing us with a relatively high comfort level that we can change content and / or transport either by choice or necessity. Hope this helps. We use content from a variety of sources and Conklin-Intracom’s (fs|cdn) middleware.

NRTC and SES basically copied the business plan of Eagle Broadband which already BKed. They were 6-9 months behind Eagle's entre into the market. The model -- below 5,000 subs -- doesn't work, for anyone. Period. My advice, if you are an IOC woried about the CableCo and think you need to provide video - go buy the CableCo. It will be cheaper and less of a hassle. Or, stick to your voice core competency and spend your time expanding a wireless 4G wireless solution. Why is this suprising?

Any other options out there?
