For me, the key would be their burn rate sans the ATT business. No way to tell that from looking at their financials. Just as a guess, if they are burning $20m/qtr, then they have until late summer to start generating cash. I watch very little TV, and I've seen some of their ads, so I wonder if they aren't spending even more than $20m/qtr...
