Peter,

Wow!!!, excellent site. I particularly like the photo of the pond, a nice touch.

One question, on the summary page the total royalties for FY 2001 are around $24 million. In Q3 FY 2001 (last reported quarter) WIND earned $25.9 million in royalties. I therefore assume that the combined lily pond royalties are only those royalties over and above the royalties from WIND's traditional business.

Thank you Allen and Peter for the tremendous effort in putting this valuable resource together.

I am an individual investor who learned about WIND thru the Gorillas & Kings thread and established a starter position in WIND when the Bluetooth relationship was announced, even though the tornado (100% YOY revenue growth) has not officially formed. My vision of a future of connected smart devices convinced me of WIND's tremendous opportunities.

Although I lack the technical knowledge of most thread participants, I will be happy to contribute when appropriate.

Thanks again for your generosity.

Regards,

Jeff

Peter ...great job on the future revenues projections.
One area that I think you have underestimated is settop boxes...only 3 million for 2001.
Compared to cable modems with the same number for 2001.

Settop boxes are being stalled at a rate 3 to 1 to cable modems. Vendors like SFA are growing capacity by 100% in 2001 to 5 million units, many more consumer electronic companies are entering the settop market, Sony, etc..
Today MOT is leader.

Here's a survey of USA Interactive TV market which requires settop boxes to be installed before these services can be launched:
As an example AT&T's TCI cable will have close to 3 million settop boxes installed by 12/31/2000 and are expected to start ITV trials in Jan 2001...followed by ITV launch across their network later in 2001.
Time Warner is installing at a rate of 45,000 a week.

Interactive TV Households
(in millions)

2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005

iTV Households 1.0 5.2 11.6 19.9 29.8 41.1

Source: The Strategis Group, Inc.

Worldwide there are over 1 billion TV's that will migrate to digital services over the next 10-12 years..external settop boxes today, intergrated settop boxes/digital tv's in the future.
