Doug, I agree it is too early to jump into THRM. It was just mentioned as another means of being 'connected'. I see alot of potential with ads etc from national accts and local attractions resturants etc. The rev is to come from usage fees at first. It is complimentary to the handheld and PC. The service is really pretty good and currently free where they have installed the equip. CPQ is aware of them as the flatscreen is a NOKIA but the keyboard and mouse have the red Q. I suspect the cpu/lan/?? connections may also be cpq but they were either loced in the lower cabinet or in another area of the building.. very convenient for a means of quieting kids or for vacationers,, also for those only connected at home while on the road-- future??? who knows..
