Wouldn't you agree however that the content
that needs to be generated to feed into
interactive television, largely, does not
exist. Maybe I do not have sufficient
imagination...but I just don't see where
the revenue is going to come from. Give
me some examples of the stuff they're going
to try and sell me.
In fact, would somebody go through the PA portfolio
and tell me what each of these companies are trying
to sell me? Since I saw that Priceline was the
largest of these companies, I did go to that site
yesterday and test drive it. Unfortunately, I tried
to price out a car, and the website could not
answer my questions (could not find anything but
a 3L engine in the model--my older model has a
3.8L).
Needless to say, I was not blown away, and I certainly
wasn't going to name my price for a car I could not
find. And besides, Priceline said the service was
only in three states anyway. Hey, at least I stuck
my toe in the water. Cold. Bottom line, these companies
are trying to create demand where there is none.
Sure, there are notable exceptions. I guess Ebay is
a wild success. Americans love to buy a lot of stuff,
then turn around and sell it...not unlike what they
do with stocks and churning perhaps! |
