<Check the press releases going back to Dec. 8th... Portico isn't even mentioned, yet in every release the magictalk platform and/or the mytalk service are. "Flagship" be damned, you can call the service whatever you want, the money is going to be in the licensing of the magictalk platform and the customized service provided off that platform...whatever that may be... and the use of the mobile agent technology, whatever that may be.> Yeah. We can count Portico out. I agree. But, how can we count on licensing of magictalk platform? How do you see companies using it? Could you put a price tag on it. It would be interesting to re-visit the VoXML people and see how they progressed in making a standard web language for voice interaction. Also, if you believe magictalk is really great, why not invest in Nuance when they IPO? Seems like the boundaries between GMGC and Nuance are a little uncertain, at least to me. I've been impressed by Nuance. I think they are a company worth watching. Any ideas what has happened since GMGC said they could work with SpeechWorks? Regards, Mark
