Looks like VOOM is fading....
by Earl Benser March 9, 2005 11:44 AM PST: ... no assets, almost no subscribers, no real income, and damn <br />few poeple left who would risk going with VOOM as new <br />customers... I'd say that VOOM is not long for this world. Add to <br />that, DirecTV is about to launch 151 HDTV channels, and VOOM <br />in its wildest dreams couldn't match that.; Like this Reply to this comment
