>> Cable subscriber's cost & LT's link scenario.

This is NOT based-on gross revenues, i.e., no subsidiary revenues of cable providers included.

I'm not sure what type of valuation "Approach" this is but here we go, aka, "Wego".

From LT's post:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/280435/fixed-broadband-access-revenues-in-the-united-states/

This should be reported in BILLIONS of dollars (NOT millions--see below the graph).

A little mathematical reengineering.

There are approximately 98.2M** broadband subscribers in the U.S. alone.

Since 2018 dollar aren't listed if hover over LT's link, we'll extrapolate and say $58B in 2018 paid by all subscribers for INTERNET ACCESS ONLY.

That is, NO MEDIA OR CONTENT INCLUDED (No TV channels, Netflix, HULU, Sling, etc.).

$58,000,000,000 / 98,247,744 broadband subscribers = $590 average yearly cost to each subscriber.

$590 / 12 months = $49 per month, but this includes the phone companies (DSL, slower and usually cheaper).

It is estimated the average cable internet "CONNECTION ONLY" costs $60 per month so we'll go with that.

$60/month with 64.35M cable customers = $3.861B per month to cable companies or $46.332B per year.

$46.332B/year * 20 years (life of patent from filing date, but infringed so will go after all years with royalties) = $926,640,000,000.

So to simplify (if not too late):

64.35M cable subscribers
$60 per month for one's internet connection or "ACCESS" only
12 month per year
$46,332,000,000 per year
20 years (Suing for the life of the patent, w/ or receiving royalties)
$926,640,000,000
__@_______w/ ~1,614,601,069 shares O/S
0.1% == $926,640,000________$0.57/share (that's 1/10th of 1% for connection ONLY)
0.25% = $2,316,600,000?______$1.44
0.5% == $4,633,200,000______$2.87
1% === $9,266,400,000______$5.74

And this is ONLY the UNITED STATES. "Good Day our Canadian LONGS".
