In the crowded and unforgiving world of global telecommunications, Liberty Global occupies an uncertain middle ground — generating revenue that exceeds expectations while absorbing losses that alarm even its most patient observers.

It is a moment that captures something enduring about markets — the gap between what a thing might be worth and what the world is presently willing to pay for it.
