Some are immediate deal breakers, and the two go their separate ways. In other cases, the problems are dealt with, and a long relationship ensues.

What operators should be careful about isn't outright churn-- its the slow fading away. <a class="more-link" href="http://broadbandgear.net/2011/07/forget-cord-cutters-pay-attention-to-cord-slicers/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A year after we launched BTR, our brain trust looked at the industry and came to the realization that there really was no tangible recognition program for outstanding and technically innovative products. While there has always been several publications - both print and online - serving this market, it was a niche that we felt needed to be filled. So, in 2005 we launched BTR's (then-BGR's) Diamond Technology Reviews. <a class="more-link" href="http://broadbandgear.net/2011/07/lets-review-diamond-reviews/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

It would be unwise, however, to dismiss the findings as automatically supporting an approach backed by the organization footing the bill. The more prudent approach is to take the findings seriously. <a class="more-link" href="http://broadbandgear.net/2011/06/ftth-survey-cable-broadband-doing-ok/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
