Now folks, a few thoughts: Just want to make sure everyone is getting the revenue picture here. Way back when (the night before opening day) I posted my thoughts on the potential for mulitple revenue streams with only a one time capital expenditure. I was not that far off target. As we approach the end of the season (and consiquently, see what will be happening from the opening pitch next season) we have the following revenue streams active and coming in: During, let's say a Texas Ranger's game, we are getting paid for the (1) FSSW television broadcast; without any additional cost we are also getting paid for the (2) ACTV content, IMHO, the near future will also allow us to simultaneously get paid for (3) SPLN like internet broadcast, and IMHO we will also get paid for (4)providing Choice Seat with content. These four streams are known to us. Please all comprehend what this means; for the same pitch, we get paid four times!!! Add to that the fact that with the FSN broadcast, we get to do somthing like 1,500 games (not sure of actual number), I'm assuming that when ACTV does their rollout for baseball 2000, they will also be doing close to 1,500+/- games (due to their tie in with FSN). Choice seat, once installed in all stadiums, does EVERY game, regardless of the network because it is in-stadium. The interenet broadcasts also are EVERY game, in every ballpark. When you add up all those games, you get one hell of a combined revenue stream And this is only baseball. Think the same way for Tennis, golf, and who knows what else in the future. I've not even begun to discuss the potential revenues available for data minning. When calculating this out, also think about the fact that this is a company with a very slow burn rate and six employees. Hence the PROFIT potential is huge!
