AU, did Al Mann say 'a partnership is more dilutive than anything else as you are sharing your profits'?
I missed that somehow...
I'm wondering the timeframe he said that. Do you remember if he said that after the 1st or 2nd CRL?
If he said that later rather than earlier than the CRLs, that tells me Al is negotiating hardball with potential partners. After he got screwed around by Scientific Atlanta - I believe that was the company Al regreted signing the dotted line years and years ago - Al already knows the feeling of getting the shaft from large conglomerates. He's not foolish enough to let that happen under his watch a second time.
