Having known and worked for Ivan, he has the capacity to do this. He is smart, resourceful and steady under pressure. He's making a big bet on technology and the marketplace. The timing has never been right before, but the technology price points are now attractive.

Surprisingly, not mentioned in this piece is whether the strategy includes VOIP in this same interval. If so, I don't see how the capital requirement can cover that cost, too. VOIP MUST be part of this strategy for it to work because the cable guys will migrate to to it.
