Ya it's got promise , but I bet the big boyz will limit
just how much you can save one way or another.
The venture cap and some utilities are already invested
in it ( a dirt cheap prices too ) so being it's not
making any real profits yet ..and just how much they will
show in the future if I was going to invest I'd look up
who got in before these things went public and buy some of them to reduce my risk by proxy.
I've seen a lot of good ideas not turn much of
a profit in this system we have.

Marketing seems to be more important than the idea
itself, so much goes on the public never sees
and the big boyz have a way dropping the other foot
and eating up competition or taking them over for a song.
If this stuff can stand on it's own two feet and
fight off the all the underhanded tricks of any
companies it might compete with it will be an exception
to the rule.
-------------------
When "netscape came along" there had never been
a better new Idea for the web..it was eaten up by
AOL for less than a 5th of it's high in fact
I think after it was all said and done he was forced
to sell out at just about the original IPO price.
Anther thing if you see a company that's been listed
for 5 yrs and it's still just eating up money forget
it. In this day and age things need to get to market
fast or they don't have a chance.
I look at all the hype of DSL..and all the fights going
on about who is going to control it, hell by the time
they get it rolled out there's going to be better and cheaper alternatives.
Getting to market "FAST" and in a big way is a must and that's something I don't see this sector doing.
