No, their goal is maximizing shareholders value, you misinterpreted me. What I said is that instead of the Israeli customer chosing YES or HOT based on content (which will force them to buy better content), the Israeli customer is chosing based solely on price (which forces them to reduce prices). Since you can't have both (dirt cheap prices and good content), it seems that we (the customers) are setting the tone. So, what I would like to see is customers chosing based on content quality rather than only price, and customers accepting the fact the better content might mean higher prices, and sending that message to YES and HOT, aka - we're willing to pay some more if you're gonna get good content. --Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
