Re: how long before PS UB and FT drop?

This may have been said before, but I really don't understand how Doyle's situation can be compared to FT, Stars and UB. Doyle;s was a skin site on the Tribeca network, and was told by Tribeca that they could stay open for another few months. Tribeca then screwed them and said Feb. 28, leaving Doyle's no time to get their own network set up.
How is that situation at all similar to the other 3 that all have their own software and own network? Doyles was forced into a very difficult situation, the other 3 have complete autonomy, how can Doyle's be used as an indicator? Maybe I'm missing something, but this makes no sense.

No, I don't think you're missing anything. These sites are obviously weighing a lot of factors in deciding whether to remain open to US business, and the decision must be close for many of them. Having to switch networks overnight to remain open to US business and probably incurring some downtime in the process (downtime is deadly for any eBusiness) is a pretty substantial tiebreaker.
I'm not at all optimistic about the situation in general but I do think that Doyle's situation is not terribly instructive.

That's good to hear, thanks Nate. I feel like I'm on crazy pills half the time when I read this forum.
