*************FOUND IT: 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS TARGETED************
Summit Digital is targeting 100,000 total subscribers within three years, which it believes is a conservative estimate of potential, provided that adequate financing can be obtained. Per-subscriber billing in the systems Summit Digital has targeted, typically based only on cable TV services, is under $50/month. Summit Digital intends to increase this to a level close to the national average of $128/month.
Summit Digital will add an additional revenue stream to its acquired cable systems through its capacity to insert local advertising, known as interstitials, to cable TV content. Summit Digital has the right to insert local advertising into programming from major networks such as CNN, ESPN, Fox News and many others. This ad insertion is accomplished through an interface between the network and Summit Digital’s system, with the network providing cue tones that open time slots for Summit Digital’s advertisers. Again, this is a revenue opportunity not currently exploited by the cable systems Summit Digital seeks to acquire, and upgrading systems to accommodate this form of advertising presents a significant opportunity to generate additional revenue from existing infrastructure.
