2morrow - I like the math but...
Kingman included poles and the ACCC was heavily discounted. Maybe the these 2 facts offset each other.
Kingman was originally a test that was going to be done gratis, all Aquila was going to do was pay for the engineering and installation. In the end it became a heavily discounted order so CTC could end up with real revenue and CTC was going to cover the engineering and installation.
I understand that CTC expects (in rough numbers) to bank $1 per foot after expenses, so net profit. (Maybe net net though - after tax, I forget). $500,000 a day profit from cable x 240 days = $120,000,000 a year profit on ACCC alone!
