Sankar, there is a key difference in this analogy. First it is not really film. Pictures can be stored on ever bigger and less expensive disks. I could probably expect to never have the need for clik!, if I wanted. The images that are being captured are digital and can go in lots of places, in lots of different formats. IOM is hardly going to be in the position of EK in this regard. Imo it will only carve a market niche in the consumables side with regard to digital images. You are right, I think in observing that it is the media sales not the devices that holds the treasure. The more expensive the media, however, the smaller the niche, as there will be plenty of digital storage competition.
