Enam, I have looked at wavx and am still looking at it. They seem to have some good products and I think the company will do well in some key niche markets. I'm not sold on a hardware solution or metering in general and - as you mentioned - it's the information flow over the Internet that really needs to be protected. The hardware metering solution requires getting the buy-in from a lot of industry players. That will take time. As I understand it it also doesn't give you the flexibility to jump from machine to machine. Plus taking into account what you have already showed us here, it's an uncomfortable proposition having a piece of hardware in my computer that records anything and everything I do over the Internet - the Big Brother thing. I'm not knowledgeable enough to really comment beyond that. I know that some wavx people monitor this thread. Could you comment? This isn't a betamax verses VHS thing. With Internet content metering I think we will see a variety of approaches in niche markets that all coexist. Different publishers and users will feel more comfortable with one or another. I think that it's a really long time off before software packages are replaced by Internet metering. So we have quite some time to see how it all develops and who the winners and losers are in that part of the game.

I think the company has a very promising technology. This was a good -both sides of the story - post -
