Thinking out loud:

I have a thought for which WaveTop may be used... the new MP3 digital music format. MP3 is a format which - to my knowledge - has not yet been accepted by large recording companies. Usually everything currently in this format is pirated. But if this truly turns out to be the future, music will consist of executable files and no longer bound to a physical medium - e.g., CDs, DVD, etc. You'll have a hard drive in your stereo and your Walkman will also be a tiny hard drive.

If this is the future of music, then all music sales and marketing could be done via WaveTop.

Another note:
As I stated earlier, I have become very frustrated with WAVO's articulation of their vision. I'm not sure they know what it is anymore since the obvious stall in subscriber rates. I believe VBI probably has several profitable market niches regardless of competition from the Internet. I'm just not sure if WAVO has the R&D budget to create all possible applications.

I hope WAVO becomes part of a larger company with the resources to exploit the WAVO pioneering effort.

Thanks for listening... BGL.
