Jon, I wanted to say that Gregg would be paid by the share price increase. While there was obviously some buying [DiamondH for example] on the strength of Gregg's presence, it wasn't like the Gilder Effect, which zoomed GSTRF share price from $20 to $30 in an hour or so. I dare say the Gilder Effect is not quite so potent now. GSTRF at just over $8 wasn't a huge celebration and certainly not a short squeeze. Maybe Gregg will have to charge us per page view after all. Back into 'wait mode'. Meanwhile: In a decade or two, maybe there will be a 'loudness' rather than bandwidth allocation for spectrum. Spectrum management is going to become a vastly important issue. Maybe each person will be born with a 'right to speak' at a certain volume. Nah. That doesn't sound right. Something is going to happen though. We are even now mostly spectrum processors [and communicators]. A big chunk of our brains is taken up with visual processing of what we see [I don't know what blind people do with all their unused brainspace - being born blind would mean dreaming in sound only...hmmm, I digress]. We get the spectrum by looking, then do the processing. Any self-respecting superman fan knows about long-distance vision, x-ray vision and super hearing. We each have demand for huge bandwidth. For short-range stuff, we could just look as we do now, but for long-range vision and sound, maybe future Globalstar satellites will have lasers on board, which will know where we are [SnapTrack] and they'll point a laser at us for high bandwidth data anywhere on earth. We could wear a little hat with a laser receiver. Or have it on the car. Metawave metawave.com will help with spectrum efficiency [SurferM's two stick bathtub antenna system]. But lasers are super-duper fast and don't interfere with the neighbours. Also, AirFiber airfiber.com will be helpful for terrestrial bandwidth, maybe linking to mini-CDMA WWeb base-stations. Spectrum management and integrated WWeb gadgets with multiple access methods would be nice [Bluetooth, Laser, 3G CDMA, OFDM, Monocycles all available in a cute little Nokia device]. 3D stereophonic reception would be simple and cheap. Maybe even with direct nerve input stimulation. I suppose retinal imaging would be best since it works pretty well already. Wear some sunglasses [which would be pretty good normal visual field managers in their own right, with UV, polarized, intensity, colour control of incoming light] with a little gadget which delivers WWeb images direct to the retina [these are being developed now]. For hearing, cochlear implants might become de rigeur for high quality sound. Why mess around sending sound through a noisy room, into an ear-wax and fungi infested cavern, to shove a piece of protoplasm backwards and forwards [eardrum] which heaves on a sequence of bones which makes the cochlear hairs get moved, like kelp surging in the surf? Cut [literally] to the chase and install a cochlear direct stimulation system. cochlear.org.uk cici.org They do it like this: medoto.unimelb.edu.au It would be nice to be able to see and hear, anywhere to anywhere, in 3D and stereophonic, including vision through things which are otherwise opaque [as TimeDomain and x-rays can do]. Roll on Constellation10. Mqurice PS: Small error in previous post...< Sure, NZ spectrum auction, currently puttering along towards NZ$20 million, yes, million, not billion...> that should be US$20 million [= NZ$40 million].
