At the conference David Betto will be annonced to run this company. Liberty Live Wire will be taking the old and new convergence and turn it to leading edge convergence for the world. At the Conference there is a slide showing the 3 key partners in the convergence 1)ATT 2)SUNW 3) HYPER TV so this means that Liberty Live Wire and ACTV will be selling the convergence together so when ACTV goes to ABC and say "you are infringinging on our patents" then they have the backing of all the partners. SUNW and ATT is going to be the host while IATV and Liberty Live Wire is doing the convergence. ATT will only get paid the hosting fees. ATT can handle 1-3Mill at a time vs EXDS only 100k.

By: evangelister Reply To: None Thursday, 13 Apr 2000 at 12:02 PM EDT Post # of 37235 A different IATV. I bought another 10K this morning. This is the first time I bought IATV shares in 14 months. This is why - 1. IATV was a small cap with only patents and alliances. IATV is a company with 100M+ cash on hand which provids necessary funding for expensive operations. 2. IATV was a pure ITV company when ITV delayed, the whole company tumbled with it. IATV is a multi-functional company with 5 or 6 money streams. The chance that they all failed together is very slim. 3. IATV was so depending on Fox and its rollout. If fox could find some other partners we will get killed. Today the fox project is still very promising. But it has much better position with Liberty, ICTV, Motorola... The chance they all are going to find new partners is very slim. I can not dictate the market or the buyer. But I am willing to take the risk and wait longer. I do not have any target price in my mind but I will wait until ITV, HyperTV, ADCO, eSchool to the next milestone. It could be $5 or $500 but the important point is I will take the risk and I will wait longer. I will NOT think about $100 stock next week. That is where all the frustrations coming from. Good luck to all.
