Al Gore Throws Hat Into The IPO Ring...
Date : 28 Jan 2008 Category : Business
While there's still some speculation about an Al Gore run for the presidency, it appears he's got bigger fish to fry, such as
an IPO for his cable TV station Current Media. Honestly, it looks like a tough sell as an IPO. It's not profitable. There are some serious questions about how viable a business it can be, and its "unique" angles, such as embracing the internet, haven't been all that successful (almost all of its revenue still comes from the TV side). If it succeeds as an IPO, it may be entirely on the strength of Gore's name, which seems like the opposite of what the company should want at this point.
