ed: Interesting spec. It seems to me that they have one enormous hurdle and that is adoption. I am sure there are many compression algorithms out there why should the various industries adopt this protocol? Or am I wrong here? Are they the sole purveyors of video compression technology or is theirs so far superior to others that their lead can be measured in years?Also I don't understand your logic. If you bought at 4 cents and it is now 37 you have made 9x your money for 33 cents per share. An investment in 10000 shares now would still only cost $3700 and would net you a much greater return dollar wise if it only quadrupled in the coming year. Why the trepidation. JFD
