Recent article in Bweek cites NTN will be involved in a trial market by Comcast and TWX cable routes. Also states that Directv may also be interested in carrying them. I have been to the web site and it looks like a solid business for sports bars/resturantes where people enjoy trivia games of all varieties but for the home and cable market are trivia games their only offering? If so with competitive XBOX and other gaming options available to American already over cable will it be a viable attraction to subscribers? The stock was under some accumulation by directors up until May '03. I have not noted recent purchase along with stock spiking in price. The one analyst quoted in Bweek euphorically spews $10 target and higher 'IF' scenarios of new carriage deals pan out. They do run ad space, seven an hour, with full competition play where you are ranked with others playing at the same time. My son looked at the offering (13) and said it was ok but then said, 'Why not get the XBOX interactive, its very cool." Will they offer other games if they have the cable deals and possible Sat providers as well? Potential is huge but is the management up to the task and their offering (future offerings) up to the challenge of meeting the needs/demands of the market of a home audience? The predict the play feature with live sports games could be tremendous for millions of game junkies. Has anyone seen this in a bar, hotel or played it? Does anyone know about reliability of service, management team, etc.? A stuffed pig or a prime cut?
