Champolion-
A) Out of curiosity, why the fixed font? On a UNIX box running Netscape, fixed font turns into this tiny unreadable font that gives me a headache... at the same time I want to be able to read your posts?
B) I partially agree with your post, but I also have a question. First, you said:
Have you noticed that AT&T or even Liberty Media never mention ACTV in their press releases. Never a word. You, and a few other ACTV cheerleaders always have to establish the link between what they publish and what you think it means for ACTV.
I agree with this to a point - I think that there are people who see a press release from Liberty, AT&T, ATHM, etc., and assume it's a plus for IATV... I'm much more conservative and only assume IATV is in use when there's been a press release to that effect. But I'm not assuming that just because there's no release, IATV isn't involved... I would certainly like to see more IATV mentioned...
Then you said:
I'm sure you noticed they also invested in a number of ACTV's competitors. I think they will continue that way until the market picks its winner.
I (and everyone here) saw the press release which showed that AT&T was using Wink for it's upcoming interactive advertising, but not counting that release, could you please provide citations to press releases (or other news) showing which competitors Liberty and/or AT&T have invested in? I think that this would be very enlightening information, if you could provide it.
Thanks,
-Mike
EDIT: In another post (#4075) you said:
1. I believe AT&T/Liberty invested in other companies that plan to
provide the same type of services ACTV is advertising. I was not talking about AT&T's investments in RNWK, @Home, TCI, etc.
Um... ok, what are these companies? Just like I don't like people blindly stating "Mike F's wrong" without support, I don't feel comfortable taking negatives about IATV at face value without support.
