How’s the microtrenching going? Have we gotten our moneys worth out of those machines or what?

This so call innovation is going to be the end of this Company. Please get rid of everyone involved!!!
Prepare for this innovation to come to towers
Micro trenching is not rapid…two different applications. The article regarding Google is what is being used at Crown. Connect the dots and you will realize where the responsibility lies.
Jay and Dan don’t care about interest rates. He’s just going to scam the investors into thinking how great we’re doing and cover the interest payments with the Ill-gotten money
The problem with borrowing money is interest rates are no longer at 0%
We will still pay dividends. We will just borrow money to cover the capital needed to place the fiber. We’ve been doing it that way for years. Why do you think we’re out on Wall St trying to sell senior notes? So we can keep this bubble going.
We can’t make the dividends promised to investors without cutting operating costs and placing fiber is expensive. This is our only hope.
It failed in 2018 already and now it's going to be the downfall of this company.

We bought rapid machines. They put a half inch groove in road surface and then lays down cable and covers with some duct tape. What could go wrong? CL, KR and the bimbo from Tilson are true visionary leaders.
@9jxa+1mzlK6de Nothing but word salad. You must be a KR disciple.
What is going on here? Some 11 year old back from Twitter to all people bootlickers?
Rapid is a huge problem
Did we buy micro-trenching machines or did we buy rapid machines because OP is asking if we got the money from the machines.
Rapid wasn't brought up by one person, you just don't know what you're talking about. There are multiple comments about the machines and the fact that it must be inspected.
Our leadership is bad but with low IQ people like you we're hopeless.
@9vdr+1mzlK6de Wrong. The subject of the thread is clearly “microtrenching”. The scotch tape method was brought up by one other person. It’s not the main subject. So why don’t you go kiss KR and KBs as--s and get off of this thread. F-ing bootlicker.
You dummy, I'm not licking anyone's boots, I'm not supporting the company. I'm saying you fools talking about cold patch and actual micro-trenching don't realize the rest of us are talking about rapid.
@8nma+1mzlK6de You obviously don’t know what is happening. Otherwise you would’ve enlightened us with a little more than your lame commentary. You’re just some boot lick hoping to get promoted through your soft lips.
The amount of people who aren't aware of rapid or don't under that's what's being discussed here is surprising.
Proof it works. LOL

You're just put of the loop, you'll find out what people are talking about sooner or later. The thing being discussed happens more rapidly.
@5zgk+1mzlK6de Why is your crew placing tape? Why can’t they cold patch it?
I’m a construction manager and I’ll tell you this straight up that I’m not wasting my time driving around inspecting this cr-p. I don’t have the time or will to do that.
The micro-trenching documentation literally says that construction managers will routinely drive around and inspect the microtrenched fiber. That is a recurring cost that was definitely not calculated. I know that there are many other costs we do not factor in our calculations (like depreciation).
Micro-trenching is a complete failure. They should get rid of whoever thought that was the way to go! From what I understand, the tape is coming up and causing issues not long after installation. Crown should cut their losses...
@5nhf+1mzlK6de I have no doubt CL and KR are reading these comments. They’re down rating them as we speak. And if they really don’t like what is being said, they’re having the posts deleted by saying the post includes identifying information. As if somebody can’t just go on Crown’s website and see their full names and faces for the world to see. (roll eyes)
I wish someone who understood what is happening would write a letter to the board.
It’s unlikely, but I hope CL and KR read all these comments. They need the reality check.
Believe it or not, we can go a lot lower.
How low can we go?
Ya’ll are crazy. We are on a downward death spiral. A lot of really good talent have left and more are leaving. EMT selling stock. Unfortunately CL and his bimbos are in control and Jay is disengaged. Complaining here won’t change a thing. Our Stock price continues to drop, good people continue to leave. Nothing will change. Grab every penny while you can. When Something better comes along bail just like everyone else. This is not the company we all used to love. CL, JB, KR, KB have destroyed it.
A couple more posts that will be removed by CL and his crew. It is sad to see how far we have fallen under this current EMT. We need change. CL is a failed leader. Failed at Google and last a year at Charter. KR is a micro managing nitwit and KB is just a hack from Tilson. Zero track record or proven results from any of them. We need a fresh clean start with the EMT.
CL, KR, KB have taken Crown from $210 share price down to $115. How the board doesn’t step in and remove them boggles the mind. Micro trenching has been a complete failure.
Critical posts always deleted. CL and his purple “angels” don’t take criticism well.
HA! I see the posts that were critical of our executives behind the microtrenching have been deleted. There is no question that this site is friendly to crown leadership. Be careful what you say on here. They know who you are.
Most county and municipality permitting agencies won’t let us microtrench. They won’t approve the permit so our machines are just sitting.
