About the distribution agreements. It's pretty simple. Hooking up with a tiny cable provider isn't going to do it. Everyone knows that reaching the largest audience is what counts, and that would be via digital satellite and nationwide cable providers (Comcast, TimeWarner, etc.).
It's clear that they need to start somewhere, but they also need to get their content quality up to par with what national carriers would expect, and they would have to provide 24x7 coverage. National carriers aren't about to give QTelevision a transmission medium unless they feel that Q can meet all of the above-mentioned criteria, at a minimum. Yeah, it's kind of the chicken before the egg syndrome, or a catch-22, sort of, but not quite.
It's simply going to take time for QTelevision to get up and running. Can't snap one's fingers and have a 24x7 network going. In the meantime we'll just have to deal with the price fluctuations. I think individuals are monitoring the share price way too closely. Look at it this way, the price weakness allows Q to buy back shares at a nice discount, thereby saving themselves and shareholders some money.
Cheers
