You obviously didn't do enough research on IATV. If you click on the patent link on the thread's start page, you'd see 15 patents and this year they were able to purchase the "Wolzien Process" patent. It is these intellectual property assets that are finally being realized by the investment community. Janus Funds purchased over 1 million shares this year. I'm glad the guy running that fund did a little more research than you just did.

John, I want to add my thanks for your IATV v. GMST post. It clarified my reasons for holding tightly to my GMST. And Mike.com, don't take it so personally, please. <G>

GMST and ACTV Well we know ACTV in integrated at HITS and with V15 of TVGIA software. We know GMST is buying TVGIA. I thknk the two are complementary...ACTVs individualized TV and its ability to tareget and memorize responses at the settop make it a powerful ally to GMST's portal, IMO.

How would you compare GLMC and ACTV As I liked your comparison ACTV vs. GMST, maybe you can help me with this one. Someone I talked into buying GLMC, thought ACTV might be similar. Their website ( www.actv.com ) offers some of the features I anticipate Global Media will be offering with "video" when beta ends on the Global Player in mid-December. ACTV (symbol: IATV) just got on the national market and is making a pretty good run. Global Media is a Real.com partner, and just received the top Linux award at Comdex. Do you see any comparisons between Global Media and ACTV, as Global is close to making it's move onto the Nasdaq. Check news at www.globalmediacorp.com. Obviously GLMC isn't ready to be compared to GMST.
