Interesting theory on RNWK and BIDS:

(repost from RB)

RNWK and BIDS...makes sense.

I see a lot of logic in RNWK and BIDS uniting, if not in ownership than in a very strategic
alliance. Why?

RNWK is into streaming audio and video for which BIDS is using them for its live dutch
auction. THIS IS FACT.

BIDS has stated that they have other revenue streams that they are developing, including
becoming the home shopping network of the internet. THIS IS FACT. How are they going to
do this technically? This is where RNWK comes in, IMO.

A few hundreds or thousands of posts ago, LiveWire indicated that BIDS registered the
name BIDSTUDIOS. THIS IS FACT. What is Bidstudios? Can it be the stage for their home
shopping network that they will use with RNWK for filming? Possibly, IMO.

What does RNWK get out of this? A chance to expand vertically and add another source of
revenue. RNWK is to make a major(?) announcement on Monday. THIS IS FACT.

Sorry for the long post...but RNWK and BIDS in the same bed? Not really so far fetched.
