We depend on certain third party suppliers for equipment, software and outsourced services, and in some cases, a single vendor in order to obtain economies of scale. If we are unable to receive quality goods or services from these vendors on reasonable terms and on a timely basis, our ability to offer services could be impaired, and our brand, growth, operations, and financial results could be materially adversely affected. In the event of a substantial failure or disruption of our network or information systems, or loss of key facilities or personnel, we may not be able to fully recover our services for an extended period, which would adversely affect our financial position and future results of operations. Programming costs have risen in past years and are expected to continue to rise, and we may not be able to pass such programming costs through to our customers, which could adversely affect our cash flow and operating margins. Our markets are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have significant advantages. We may not be able to respond quickly or effectively to changes in the competitive environment, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position. Our business is highly susceptible to changes in general economic conditions, and any significant downturn in the U.S. economy as a whole, or in any geographic market in which we provide services, could substantially impact our sales, customer churn, bad debt and collections, and overall results of operations. Our inability to respond to technological developments and meet customer demand for new products and services could limit our ability to compete effectively. We experience turnover among our experienced and trained employee base, which could result in our inability to continue performing certain functions and completing certain initiatives in accordance with our existing budgets and operating plans. Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect the price of our stock and our ability to raise capital. An ownership change could limit our ability to utilize our federal net operating loss carryforwards.
