Is this why I didn't get paid my vrp check today?
The name Altice or Optimum is trash and anything associated with those names is trash. I can’t imagine anyone who would want the garbage markets that Altice has been responsible for over the last decade especially in the West. Plant is literally falling off of poles and the reputation of the business is damaged beyond repair. I just can’t think of anyone who would want to invest in that.
