This deal with WebTV is extremely insightful as to the demand of RNWK's products...here's why. The new improved WebTV didn't support their products because of bandwidth constraints to WebTV's platform. WebTV felt that the consumer would be better off with their stand-alone product and content, and be satisfied with the old Real player......Not! The demand by the consumer pushed this deal through, not MSFT! RNWK is for real, and companies are recognizing the magnitude of its platform.
