Brian..
Thanx for the message. Mark Breier is an ambitious fellow. However, the Amazon.com approach is myopic compared to the Wave Way. Breier does not say how he intends to make beyond.com no. 1 and for good reason. He really has no clue as to how he's going to do it. Right now, Breier intends to sell software like one would books.. How "beyond" anything is that? Wave Systems will package content for free trial use, sale, rental, subscription and several other pricing options. The features and power of the WaveMeter alone put Wave Systems WaveNet and entire method of multi-channel content distribution way "beyond" Software.net.
Let's hope Mark Breier brings more attention to the "idea" of selling software via the net. Mark the Marketing man can set up shop at one place on the net and then we can let our far more sophisticated and well armed content providers move in for the kill; swarming the Digital MarketSpace as "Self Merchandising Objects" with all sorts of digital files in every corner of it. Wave Systems will distribute for sale, rent, and pay for play microtransactions Disney, "Debbie", Doctor Doo Little, Diablo IV, the dictionary, digital music and movies, your dental records .. you name it, in a way poor Mark's "mentality" will certainly envy.
Sincerely,
Marty
