Ken, it's all in the press releases. You have to read them jointly with the releases of other net companies, all saying how they are partnering with the same companies on the same days. Xcit's talks about the money, and the up front money has been huge, while the rest have no money involved and talk about "future potential for revenue sharing" etc. How many channels? I believe xcit has 14 at the moment, but the potential is unlimited as more interest in different areas comes into play. There's no reason why seek can't do the same. Of course, it has to do it, and it just hasn't. My reasoning: Xcit invents the trend and capitalizes on it. Seek follows the trend and picks up the laggards, along with everyone else. It has to do with innovation and agressiveness, and xcit has it and seek doesn't, at least not yet. If they are "pleased" at seek with the way things are, then they are doomed. If they are pissed that xcit comes up with the ideas that they should have, and executes first and better, then there's a chance that they will make this company happen. And this is not a technology driven industry, no matter what anybody says. It has become content driven, and ultraseek is nice but will never carry the day unless there's something there that people want to see and can't find anywhere else. SHG
