WEST POINT, Ga. - Knology Inc., a cable, phone and Internet services provider, said it posted a $3.3 million quarterly loss because of hefty accounting charges and other costs to amend a credit facility.
Knology reported a loss attributable to common shareholders of 9 cents per share. This compares to a loss of $2.8 million, or 8 cents per share, a year ago.

Excluding these charges, Knology posted profit of $1.8 million, or 5 cents per share, in the most recent period.

Just as Lawrence Kazmerski, a top official at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, was about to give the keynote address at the University of Minnesota's annual E3 conference at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, the lights went out, bathing the audience in darkness and a deep sense of irony.
