Why is the former youngest President of the CBS Television Network and Co-Founder of CNN a Director at Stream Communications?
Robert J. Wussler is a man that knows a thing or two about the communications business. Throughout his career Mr. Wussler has revolutionized the communications industry and was responsible for groundbreaking changes in news production and presentation at CBS News, CNN, TNT, CBS Sports and WTBS Sports. During his twenty-one-year career at CBS Mr. Wussler progressed through the Company to become President of both CBS Sports and the CBS Television Network. In 1980 Mr. Wussler joined Ted Turner as a co-founder of CNN, TNT, and WTBS and was Senior Executive Vice President of Turner Broadcasting.

“We are very excited about the addition of Mr. Wussler to our board as he brings extensive experience in the creation of innovative programming, managing the distribution of entertainment and information to millions of households, and a profound understanding of technologies including cable television, satellite communications and interactive media”, said Stan Lis, President & CEO Stream Communications.

Mr. Wussler is a man that has vision, a man with the skills and mindset to actualize a company plan, to help take a company to that next level. He also is a man that sees a strong future in Stream Communications. So much so that he joined Stream’s board of Directors to help shape and guide the company as it strengthens and firms its position as a leading Communications and Media force emerging in Poland’s rapidly exploding economy. I don’t think that Mr. Wussler is a man that comes aboard a company whose stock will stay trading for around $1. He must think Stream and its stock is preparing to explode!

The company continues to aggressively pursue growth opportunities in the cable TV market. As Stream has previously pointed out, the fragmented cable television market in Poland (with 500 small operators servicing regional areas), makes it a suitable location for growth through acquisition.

Furthermore, the Internet side of the equation gives Stream greater potential for profits by tapping into obvious synergies. Additional revenues with relatively low overhead can be achieved through bundling Internet services with cable via existing infrastructure.

Earlier this fall, the company announced a key addition to its stable: a cable television network in Southern Poland with 4,200 subscribers, which itself generated roughly $350,000 in 2004 alone. Another 6,000 homes are scheduled to be wired in the network’s neighborhood. More importantly, it means that Stream has now consolidated a total of 14 networks, reaching a “critical mass” of 55,000 subscribers.

“We are now in a position to continue increasing our market share by consolidating both small and large cable networks,” said Stream President Stan Lis at the time of the deal.

The move solidified Stream’s place as one of the top 10 companies providing broadband cable television and high-speed-internet access in the Southern Poland region. The company’s strengthening position in Poland, and its already existing connections, means that it is in an excellent position to continue acquiring cable and Internet networks in the country.

Investors with an eye on Europe’s emerging markets and international growth in the cable TV and broadband/Internet sectors should take note.

The Polish economy, with its burgeoning trade and investment connections, plus a growing consumer culture, is one of the strong performers on the global stage, and is expected to grow in the years to come. In the year 2000 alone, there was $10.6 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country.

A report published earlier this fall by the European Commission (EC) forecasted that Poland's GDP will grow 4.9 percent this year and 4.5 percent in 2006 -- on top of growth of 5.8 percent for 2004. That would make it one of the fastest growing EU economies.

During a recent visit to Warsaw, International Monetary Fund president Rodrigo de Rato echoed the sentiments of that forecast. "I perceive the growth of the Polish economy as being strong,” he said. “Inflation, despite its recent upsurge, should not pose a threat to economic stability. The external position is also strong.”

Poland still faces the challenges of an emerging market in a transitional phase, but as it moves closer to integration with the EU and global economies, the benefits of reform and restructuring are paying off huge dividends.

According to the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the difficult changes made in the 1990s were pivotal to Poland’s positioning today. “As a result the Polish economy stabilized and opened up to the world. Its banking system and monetary credit policy were reformed... Privatization, free market principles and a radical reduction of the budget deficit started bringing results.”

Stream is in an enviable position to capture this ground floor opportunity in Poland. Well funded and with a marketing plan in place to actively sign up new cable and internet subscribers, the company is forecasting excellent sales growth.

Currently Stream has a solid base of 53,000 cable subscribers using their services but marketing plans are in place to increase that number to over 200,000 by the end of 2005. Over the same time frame, Stream plans to capture the growing internet business in Poland by adding over 50,000 subscribers over 2005 with a targeted 6,000 new subscribers signing up for the Voice Over Internet Protocol.

The bottom line is, if these targets are met, revenue growth quarter over quarter will rise substantially.


Over the next four quarters the company foresees revenues of approximately $1.5 million, $2.3 million, $6.6 million, and over $7.4 million for the period ending December 31, 2005.

That’s very good sales growth and it’s attributable to having the right products at the right time at the right place. Right now is the time and place to reap the opportunity which Poland presents in this market.

Going forward over the next two years the company projects the market will expand rapidly. If Stream successfully executes their business plan they could see triple digit sales growth this year and over 2006. According the company’s figures, revenues could potentially hit over $17.7 million over this year and grow by over 110% in 2006 representing over $37 million in sales thus giving early investors the potential for rapid share appreciation.

We strongly believe that Stream Communications is strategically positioned to take advantage of a very rare opportunity that is unfolding in Eastern Europe. The timing is right, the Polish economy is beginning to swell, the management is world-class and the execution on a well thought out and strategic business plan is about to unfold.
