Scott, My thoughts on the future of the market are that over the next few years big money will come in the form of big producers. Movie houses, TV, digital entertainers, etc. will need a method to distribute their content and that these are the key customers. Today folks out-source. I want to publish my content, I engage broadcast.com, or ITVU or whomever. Big money will be when LucasFilms or TimeWarner or unnamed big content producers go net. I can not see them outsourcing ala today's methods because they need quality control. Maybe I should just say they need control. It seems to me that Real is targeting that market. Also, it seems that servicing that model is not Microsoft's game. Then again, I see NBCI as start model of the future and there is MSNBC. You mentioned you have been studying business models. What is your take on the side of content distributors and how they mesh in the future streaming world? Regards, Lee
