Ok, I am not going to make fun of that news release.

But, seriously, it follows a common problem in technology. It is a technology looking for an application. Real success is driven by customer demand, not technological capability. Sure, they can do those things they list, but does anyone really want them? What need does it fill?

Everything they list is easily solved by the use of television, radio or traditional internet access. Those three devices are common and function quite well. Their true market for this type of application is someone who has a TV tuner in their PC and will hook up their antenna or cable connection to their PC, yet doesn't have internet access. It is a very rare situation that someone that technologically sophisticated would not have internet access and thus would need this service. Therefore, small market and small sales.

A common problem will small technology companies.

Archer
