And to me seems more a direct result of COMCAST takeover of TIMEWARNER grabbing 1/3 of USA Cable and Overall Media control. Translation - dictatorship. Anyone else remember the breakup of "MA BELL" aka Bell Telephone systems? Seemingly we are allowing the same Pre-Breakup market dominating to occur right now that covers TV/Print & Digital Media/Cable/Internet all in a bundled packaged by a single conglomerate. Ex: COMCAST-Universal-NBC Dumping entities that make "the deal" sweeter to the investors and pumping up the "curb appeal" of the merger regardless of the collateral damage. Sux! |

Unfortunately, no one can speculate how much longer HPP would have or could have continued had the Time issue not occurred, but one thing is for certain, for what was its foreseeable future, the title was in good shape. It was the parent company that went down taking numerous titles with it!

Long term decisions based on short term stock propping have lead to bigger failures than this. HPP will be missed.
