Show me the money! :-) All I want is to see this business make some money. In other words, I want to see: - Accelerating revenues - Improving margins - Profits All those nice "events" are great, but they will not convince anyone. I agree with you, art, ACTV's goal may be based on higher standards, and ACTV may aim at a superior solution. Yet, the battle is being fought NOW! If ACTV lets its competitors get fat on the first wave (the analogic solution), they will be surprised to find enormous competition when the market is ready for the second wave (the digital solution). Finally, perhaps, you can tell the difference between WINK, OPTV, LBRT, etc., but 99.9% of investors, including institutional investors, can't. For them, it's all interactive TV. If ACTV doesn't bang on the table and defend its patents, no one will get a clue on who is the leader.
