Ok everybody, wake up and listen good. Rather then engaging in speculation and other bullsh1t, I've been hard at work on my math; you know, adding two plus two. This started over the weekend when I watched the Sox game from
Texas and was glad to see QSTI there with Supervision. "Why Texas?" I asked myself. Keeping in mind that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. (this is very
true in my business and I'm sure all of yours as well.) So, what the hell was the reason? One, Texas is in the thick of the pennant/playoff chase. I figure QSTI needs the stadium up and working now for payoff (Oh, I mean
playoff) baseball. Ok, I figure, good answer, but something's nagging at me (other then my wife who complains that the price of the stock is preventing
her from buying that new house) "What is it?" I keep asking myself. Then it hits me, last year about this time QSTI did their successful test with ACTV
from the Astros game. I remembered from that time the fact that ACTV had a strong base in Texas. I don't recall if they are centered there or just have a base of operations there, but that's irrelevant. Also, the Newsday article a few weeks ago stated ACTV was ready to turn on Texas. Finally, I reread last years "actv" release and refresh my memory that the "tag line" was the internet "delivery" of our content. So, I begin adding: there are many other teams in the playoff hunt this year, so why Texas now? We have seen a push in Esports (the concept, not the domain name,) There is something here with all this I say to myself. So, I break down and call HQ. I must say, I got a very "no comment" type response about how are things going. I mean this was like being at a presidential news conference. But I was not to be turned away. I then proceeded to lay out my sleuthing and what my conclusions are: Must be the long awaited ACTV tie it.
And.....................(drum roll please). YOU BET YOU F* BUTT I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got confirmation from the company!!!! Confirmation was limited in details. Therefore, with the taste of fresh blood in my mouth and scent of being hot on the trail in my nose, I call a contact in Texas and ask that he check things out and fill in some blanks for me. Here is the substance of everything I've found out:
We did our first ACTV game on Wed. night from Texas and things went great. We are a dedicated video channel of content for their "Individualized
Television" product. Aside from their cable audience, all of the suites at Arlington Field have the "Individualized
Television" set top boxes installed in them.
The system is up and running, and will be on ACTV for the balance of the season!! Yes this is a paid
contract, yes I said contract, signed sealed and delivered. The ACTV deal is our first multigame contract using our eSports technology. eSports is a
technology concept for us, not a domain name function. All visualization of SuperVision over ACTV's "Individualized Television" is based on Internet transmission.
Both ACTV and QuesTec will release news when both PR firms, legal and management say it is OK.
Get ready to rock and roll sports fans. ACTV has a deal with FOX also. Welcome to convergence. Everyone have their surf boards ready, cause the
surf is up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
