Greenie, I certainly hope what you say comes to fruition. But we've seen QSTI spike at a buck+ before each year around this time in anticipation of the baseball season and then wind its way back down again. Would definitely be nice to see a new bottom at a buck and a nice climb over the season. But to do that I think something major has to happen like you said, either massive buying from outsiders, a major acquisition deal, or news releases about QSTI finally generating revenues. Regards. Gary

I will not speculate on this in depth. Read into this and think about (QSTI) and (LPAC) These are two of my recommendations as of late. It has been known that IATV and QSTI have been spoken about before in regards to working possibly along side each other. AND ALWAYS AN OPINION Bruce Cullen Sherwood Coasts Group geocities.com See my website for disclaimer. ========================================================= This from the Public Offering statement of ACTV, Inc. ========================================================= Under the terms of our agreement with General Instrument, we have licensed five of our patents to Digital ADCO in exchange for 51% of the common stock of Digital ADCO, and General Instrument has licensed six of its patents plus made a $5 million capital commitment for 49% of Digital ADCO?s common stock. Any capital contribution after General Instrument has fulfilled its initial $5 million commitment will be made pro rata based on ownership interests. We anticipate that Digital ADCO will generate revenues from three major sources: subscription fees for software, advertisement handling fees and an advertisement encoding fee for digital insertion, a process called ??striping.?? We have entered into a master license agreement that sets forth the framework for negotiating with each of FOX Sports Net?s 19 owned or affiliated regional sports networks to provide content for our planned individualized sports programming service. FOX Sports Net, which reaches more than 72 million homes nationwide, features professional basketball, hockey and baseball games, as well as college sports events. To date, we have entered into licensing agreements with the following five regional sports networks FOX Sports Net Southwest, FOX Sports Net West, FOX Sports Net Northwest, Sunshine Network and FOX Sports Net Bay Area. We expect to launch our first regional service in the area served by FOX Sports Net Southwest, which distributes programming to more than 6 million subscribers in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. We have produced over 100 individualized live sporting events and have tested distributing the programs through AT&T Broadband & Internet Services (formerly Tele-Communications, Inc.). We plan to systematically expand Individualized Television into the other regions served by FOX Sports Net. We expect to launch our second regional sports network in the area served by FOX Sports Net West, which distributes programming to approximately 4.8 million subscribers in Southern California. Although we chose to focus our initial commercialization efforts on marquee events, advertising and regional sports, we believe that our Individualized Television system will have universal applications. It is our objective to expand our Individualized Television to include many other genres of television programming. We believe that Individualized Television can become a standard for interactive digital television programming distributed through cable systems, DBS, and digital broadcast television. Production The master license agreement that allows us to negotiate with FOX Sports Net?s regional networks provides that we must bear the incremental content, transmission, delivery and master control costs incurred in connection with the production and distribution of individualized programming for our regional networks. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art master control facility in a building we share with FOX Sports Net Southwest in Irving, Texas. Our master control receives multiple video/audio feeds from FOX Sports Net Southwest via fiber lines. We intend to construct or lease similar facilities for creating and distributing individualized programming for each of our future regional sports networks. We expect to lease a master control facility from National Digital Television Center, a leading digital television creation facility, to produce and distribute individualized programming for our planned regional network in Southern California. The National Digital Television Center has production, post-production, digital compression and network origination services and is the largest production facility on Los Angeles? west side. This facility enables us to work closely with Liberty Media?s Liberty Digital division and with other major entertainment and advertising content creators on the development of Individualized Television programming. Our Los Angeles office is currently located in this center. ...

I started skiing at an age of three, my parents worked on the National Ski Patrol for over twenty years, I grew up in New Hampshire on mountains such as Waterville Valley, Crotchet Mountain and Pats Peak. I raced for Landmark School In Mass. for two years and Crotched Mountain for twelve years. I literally skied just about every day during the long 4-6 month winters. If there is any sport I know it's skiing. Boy would I be in heaven if I was there in Europe making deals for this content. Skiing was always an output for my stresses in school when I was younger, I would just get on that hill and do the downhill on some of the worst conditions a mountain could offer, turns. ice, snowmaker jets and brutally cold conditions. With questec.com Inc. developing content for many venues of this sport I have to say that the possibilities are endless. Skiing content would be a serious eye catcher in any downhill event during the Olympics. Imagine, after gathering data for these events like the downhill or ski jumping... Questec could then provide this data for those hugely anticipated video games kids worldwide look for each year, remember this data (content) could also be sold to companies like Saga so that they could literally provide real player stats directly into the video games for more accuracy and realism. This is a revenue source folks. Think about a company like Yahoo... with their online live action games and the such, adding new events like Skiing, baseball, soccer or any of the www.Questec.com Inc. contents to bring a new realm of real data and player accuracy to the games. Kids (and adults) want to play games that make them feel as if they can choose their own favorite player and put themselves into their shoes, this Questec.com data would surely provide the needed reality for those companies. One other possible source of revenue could be providing live on the fly competition amongst players and competing against other players, example... skiing... before the race starts everyone decides which country or say teammate is going to win the downhill... everyone picks their winner and then at the end of the event, that person with the true best score wins a skiing trip to Snowbird or Deer Valley ski resorts... each competition being sponsored by ABC or NBC etc. Questec could also set up an event package for those that really want to make it to the nearest resorts and hotels surrounding their favorite events, they could set up packages and have them E-mailed as specials for those members before those events take place. This would provide a closer following between the company, it's members and would also directly bring the surrounding companies closer to Questec, thus creating more serious long-term partners that could work with Questec. I see few people on the internet taking this approach and adding it into their revenue sources. It may take time to develop the relationships but will prove in the long run a better brand name for the company. The world and the world of sports will be growing closer together as we travel through the years... the nations of the world are getting closer and working more in synch with each other, travel to these places will grow cheaper and be more convenient. So why not have a questec.com companion eCustomTravel.com The possibilities are endless and once again sports is a key entertainment necessity.
