We have updated our model for management commentary at recent investor conferences. We increased our estimate for broadband subscriber losses and lowered EBITDA for the quarter. Consensus seems to be in the right spot for EBITDA but estimates for subscriber losses need to increase.

In Partial Win for Cable, Trump Memoranda Appears to Protect CBRS
Late Friday, President Trump released a new Presidential Memoranda on 6G and Spectrum. While what the Memoranda said is largely a restatement of what we have previously reported, we think the most important element for investors is what it didn’t say; specifically, that by omission it appears to protect the spectrum known as the Citizens Band Radio Services (CBRS) currently used by cable (and others) for wireless services. In this note we provide an analysis of the Memoranda.

We hosted a Verizon investor lunch yesterday. We feel we came away with a clearer understanding of the evolving ‘Dan Plan’. Long story short, the chances of VZ ‘burning down the neighborhood’ are far lower than generally feared. This fear has nevertheless been priced into sector stocks, which may present an opportunity across the sector.

The future of broadband - Optimum Fiber has higher cNPS than Optimum C...
Optimum’s cNPS for their fiber product is higher than their Cable product but the gap has decreased in recent months. Fiber cNPS has decreased and Cable cNPS has increased slightly. As the size of Optimum’s Fiber customer base increases, the overall cNPS should inch higher. More importantly, Fiber scores are higher than Cable in every category. The company has a lot of work to do to improve scores in price / value and customer support, both of which remain very low for both technologies
