Ad sales does far far more... <BR/><BR/>regarding valuations. come on... your friend/senior wouldn't have done the deal had it not been for the fact he would have been given an obscene valuation, which brings in other investors... and you can connect the dots after that.<BR/><BR/>u ask him, to try and strike a deal with Network 18. they would have given a shitty valuation, taken control and give a paltry amount and then when the going got good, prolly oust him. <BR/><BR/>That brings us to Network 18. the rate at which they create companies is quite prolific. There should be a law against it.<BR/><BR/>I guess they need to keep appointing ceo's as the only way to retain people. which makes u wonder as to many more interesting things...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
