		<description>Really?  Nice spin....

&quot;Despite the concerted efforts of SK Telecom and EarthLink, Helio has failed to draw many customers.&quot;

Worst of 2007: MVNOs
http://www.xchangemag.com/articles/worst_of_2007_mvnos.html
&quot;2007 saw a continuation of hard luck for the MVNO space, with shutdowns at Amp’d Mobile and Disney Mobile, Helio LLC failing to attract additional funding from one of its parents (EarthLink Inc.), and analysts cautioning against the exuberance that marked the space as little as one year ago.&quot;

US MVNOs Fail To Capture Market Imagination
Disney Likely to Succeed Where Helio Will Fail
http://www.strategyanalytics.net/default.aspx?mod=PressReleaseViewer&amp;a0=3021
&quot;MVNOs, such as Helio and Mobile ESPN, have not lived up to their marketing hype. Despite promising to shake up the market, they have only attracted miniscule customer numbers.&quot;


200% of nothing is still nothing.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think Helio is a desperate MVNO by any terms.  They have grown by over 200% over a short period of time and they survived while others crashed and burned.  They have not reached a point in their subscriber growth where they can now grow rapidly using their organic base.
