Hi Roadkill - agreed. The announcement of the automotive "mobile flat antennae" will open up the hugemarket: taxi's,airports limo's,busses,plus highend sedans. As this high end auto application builds up subscribers,and/if KVHI holds onto exclusivity - it can emerge as the niche leader. Phase II flat antennae appear and OEM's start putting them in like sunroofs and kvhi picks up 100,000 new antennae a year - we'll see a tender from GM,Ford,Daimler or we begin to see an AOL like emergence - to a much smaller degree of course. None the less,someone has to "realize" that this thing will be a standard feature ten years out.I've seen this same high end evolution go from 8 track to cassette to cd's - they all took time ,but they all became standard equipment - just for music. The demand for mobile internet access is much more sought out than music - at least by myself. For those who use a car to get to work or as a work tool, it is an incredible efficiencey tool. Corporations will use it as an emplyee monitoring tool. As a side note,this last week,I was hunting with a general manager of a 33,000 acre corporate vegetable farm.He said they were involved in the introduction of John Deere's gps based tractors.He said they were incredibly efficient. Besides looking nice the perfectly straight rows of planted crops enabled the cultivating blades to be tweaked inches closer to the crops in an effort to eliminate competing weed growth. Once a field is planted - the rows are stored in memory.Cultivating weeds is so accurate that the drivers of the tractors ride "no hands".Interestingly enough, they had problems with the "trimble design and discontinued it - turned out to be a bad electrical connection - it resulted in staggered rows - BAD DEAL. The john deere tractors steer themselves based on GPS-neat stuff. Another very practical application is each train car having an identifying fog - this is a real world problem,as I've had a lost train car with a customers sold order truck on it - it stayed lost for 30 days. So many great applications out there - sprinkle patience sparingly and allow to grow. Don't worry Jack - your bean stalk will grow high.ggggg Bob
