The European market is somewhere in the neighborhood of being 2-3 years behind in online shopping arena when compared with the U.S. There is a better than 50% chance that the market will skip the PC desktop screen and the masses will move into the push technology programming thats just beginning to come on the scene. Hence the direction that is going to be utilized by Bid.com licencing agreement with AIME. By using set top boxes we the consumer can filter items that we wish to be downloaded into our systems and viewed on our T.V's. The bigger plus to this technology is that we can actually interact at the same time as the piece we are buying/ bidding on is viewed by all participants. In essence this technology provides us the opportunity to check out the merchandise before we decide to buy. A small example (not relating to bii currently) is purchasing a book. We could actually review some of the contents online just like we do when we are at a bookstore. Simple example but the idea is real. There are a few participants in this arena and the likes of Microsoft have already grab their chunk of the pie. Next time your into explorer see if you can locate WAVO. Wavo has many of the bigger companies already partnered for the explosive growth in this dynamic area. Aime is bii's partner for this upcoming technology. Hope they can develop and bring to market the software(which will be free)real soon. The horses are out of the gate and there's still time. Bii's advantage is their European endeavours.
