Art, you do a great job! It encourages some of us (parttime) lurkers and longs. We know how discouraging this stock has been and you keep up our spirits.

Here is more on this Digital arm of AT&T and Priddy. <<<<<<AT&T Broadband & Internet Services is creating a new division to coordinate the development and deployment of interactive TV content and services. Laurie Priddy, who also heads AT&T's National Digital Television Center, is president of the newly established Interactive Offerings Group. She'll oversee efforts by AT&T BIS' programming and advertising arms in developing interactive applications with outside companies. The group will grow from about 10 staffers - including Priddy - at startup to between 30 and 50 by the end of this year, according to Priddy. AT&T BIS also is setting aside funds for "seed" investments, but Interactive Offerings doesn't plan on owning big stakes in content suppliers. It does intend to make the interactive features it develops available on as many AT&T delivery vehicles as possible.>>>>>>

Here's why Interactive advertising is an important part of AT&T's strategy. Benefits to the Cable Operators:  Incremental revenue opportunity with same inventory of availability ad space  Additional revenue per interactive spot  Revenue potential from sales lead generation  Digital ad insertion on the regional and local basis (see below) Again, we are very excited about the ACTV/Showtime agreement, and believe that this is just the first of many HyperTV-enable convergent programming events to be announced and rolled-out this year. We think that this announcement, and anticipated future announcement of events, will focus investor attention back onto ACTV and encourage new institutional participation from those that have awaited launching of ACTV-enhanced programming.

For anyone out there who cannot see the overwhelming endorsement of IATV and their technology by AT&T after reading these posts is financially blind. No, they did not OFFICIALLY announce anything, you have to read between the lines, make some assumptions. That is why investing in stock pays better than CD's over the long haul. If you wait until every light is green, you'll never get out of town! Do your due dily, Scott I posted this on the RB board and just wanted to "pound the table" by repeating it.
