We’re pursuing a similar strategy with XXX Communications. The company had been a steady grower and given the lack of investment opportunities the company has ***retired a significant amount of shares*** over the last decade. That strategy seems to be less viable with broadband additions slowing down and the prospects for price increases diminished due to a deteriorating competitive environment as telecom providers like YYY and ZZZ becoming increasingly competitive.

XXX ist ein US-amerikanischer Betreiber von Kabelnetzen mit digitalem und interaktivem Fernsehen, Video-on-Demand-, Internet- und Telefondiensten.
YYY und ZZZ sind Telekommunikationsunternehmen.
