$10M in 99???

Come on.

By your numbers their 1000 stream server sells for $350,000 and to get $10M-$15M in 99 means delivery of 28-42 residential systems this year. Do you honestly believe this ?

DIVA had a lot more resources at hand and it has been a heroic effort to stand up and maintain 7 systems over the last 30 months.

You construct a scenario to suit your ego, not to suit reality.

BTW, the recently posted CE article spells out exactly the "replacement technology" scenario I eluded to many months ago that can cause the cancellation of plans to deploy head-end based "VOD-only" servers. It should be taken very seriously and capitalized on.

A 2 hour internet downloadable MPEG2 movie at 27Mbps on a cable modem takes just 14 minutes into a $50 slice of a STB or PC Hard Disk, and you can start watching the movie right away as the rest is coming it.

Very compelling, as the internet servers have far more content and likely will be very much cheaper than an MSO controlled and priced offering.
