I just love these Local Paper articles
so I can tear them apart.
consumers know what HDTV is, they won't be
confused into accepting DTV in the mean time.
they want the 16x9 aspect ratio of HDTV
on their PC screens, not this DTV crap.
Besides, DTV's 19mb/sec pipeline is useless
with interactive addressable systems as many
people will have to share that bandwidth for
DTV/WAVX to be effective, all this assuming
that broadcaster will simply unite under a
standard to beam out coordinated premium
content. This whole WAVX thing is impossible.
It sounds nice to investors, but logistically
it will never fly. DirecPC from Huges uses
a similar architecture, but they can get away
with it because their satellites handle Terre
Bytes of Bandwidth, not Mega Bytes, and the
broadcast is rarely continuous, as it would
have to be with streaming audio/video content.
BTW, HAUP's own recent press release
pegs the card price at $500, not $300.
a BIG Difference.
Truth be told, I can live with HAUP staying
in the $20's while this deal pans out, but
seeing that WAVX penny stock trading at $25,
really makes me laugh. |
