In effort to redirect the conversation on I-hub(what a worthless and unproductive idea) I brought up the follow points;

$800,000,0000 revenue goal within 2-1/2 to 4-1/2 years.

Has anyone else thought about what this number means besides the 2 obvious issues;
1. Revenue
2. A benchmark for management compensation.

AS for the statement I think they made and the way the goals has been characterized several times.

I think they were making a statement about the rate they expect to get per phone and more or less screaming our rates are FRANDLY.

Just like with the qtrly numbers you can reverse engineer a rate per terminal unit, I think a good numbers person could reverse engineer the $800M number with assumptions they made, coming within 20-30% of the rate they expect to get per unit.

Thoughts? anyone.
