From my recent conversations with the company, I do not believe that agent technology will be rolled out with any outside company this year. It was indicated to me that it is a long road from the demo in April to a roll out over a network. GMGC is currently using Kenya among a selected number of its employees. It seems to me that it will be a number of months before Kenya will be even offered to some of the obvious candidates. My hope would be that by next year's holiday season we would see an application of the technology with one or more of the major retail e-commerce players. My sense is that GMGC is going to be making a big push to grab market share with Mytalk over the next few months. Advertising revenues are immediate, and are directly related to subscribers. I think we will see a legitimate ad campaign starting soon. Though Mytalk is not as sexy as landing OnStar, it should generate legitimate revenues more quickly as long as the subsciber base continues to grow at its current pace. It also provides a springboard for future advancements to be unveiled. Btw, the company also indicates that the subscriber rate doubled from June/July to August/September and again from August/September to October/November. Seconds Out.
