It's not my company.  I don't own it.  The work that I do doesn't have
anything to do with the low down residential lick and stick 2 doors
and a motion illusion of security that's sold by ADT dealers and their
corporate high volume residential program.  You're right about one
thing, they're in business to make money and nothing else.  ANSC or
RMR as you call it, is king.  Of course, long term profitability does
require some level of competence, and ADT has been making money for a
long time.  Personally,  I'm in business to make enough money to buy
the things I need to support my family and hopefully retire before I
hit 70.  Hopefully ADT/ Tyco does well and my stock earns a decent
return.

I know a lot of people in this industry working for a whole lot of
different companies.  You can bash ADT all you want, but the vast
majority of local and regional companies do business just like ADT.
They use the same type of equipment.  The monitoring procedures are
the same.  The pricing is very similar.  Contract language is the
same.  The systems perform the same way.  What make's you so
different?
