Great find, Paullie. . . [now go to sleep.]. .You are right that the auction deal is multi-faceted. The part I like is that in working to get Auction Channel auctions live via internet, BDE is forced to show their hand at broadcast quality digital / interactive television programming. . . .something we have yet to see them do. . . .most everything prior to this has been in the animation fields. . . where compression does not show as much. . . live action video broadcasts can't have the same compression ratios [and still be aceptable], therefore will require a higher technology. . . .and that's what I am waiting to see. They discussed this in their latest filings, but did not say who, what or how they would accomplish. Whatever they do to make this work. . . .could perhaps then be applied to Intel's order by NBC to provide digital interactive television programming . . .should they get the call by Intel. Rande Is
