WaveTop Broadcast working with WebTV would be awesome. I bet once those 1GB drives make it to market as part of the WebTV console, that an agreement with WAVO will be a slam dunk! I can't imagine where else they'd get the content without having to tie up your phone lines during moments of inactivity. Doing it that way would be pretty lame, especially since your WebTV's already near your TV antenna, all they gotta do is add a 300ohm input, some circuitry and WAVO's in business! WebTV's already got a few million subscribers. I just wonder if they'd just pay WAVO for the content, or let them also pump advertising as well... Hey, maybe that's the gimmick, WebTV needs a way to get more elaborate ad's on to your WebTV session without jamming up your modemn. What better way to do it then with the WAVO system input! Another interesting point from that article is that WAVO working with PBS will be so much easier than ABC, CBS, NBC having to stuggle with each local affiliate to get them to carry another DataStream. If it were not for all this damn DOJ nonsense with MSFT, I'd load up on more WAVO, but for now, I'm keeping my exposure modest, since the market's burned me quite a bit the past few months...
