It’s the start of a new year, we’ve been on the subscription model long enough to see if it’s working, and I for one would like to know how things are going.

Perhaps Little Ed or one of his subodinates could give us an update.

How many paid subscribers do we have? How many signed up after the initial period?

How much bandwidth are we using and how much capacity do we have?

Stuff like that.
