That's certainly what Smisek is trying to sell to the Street. Look at the last call script and he is doing everything to convince analysts that SHARES is somehow worth the pain that the customers are going through by the ability to parse customers and upsell them driving ancillary revenue. He never mentions the fact that it doesn't work for normal opps and fails spectacularly for IRROPS.
