To Abenamar and Buzz: First off, about Glaser's interview...I watched it the night it aired and came away very impressed. I can't remember much of what he said, but he had a great business plan going into the future. Buzz...I read that article and did find it interesting enough to call my brother to find out what he thought. He said that Xing Technologies used to compete with RNWK until it "faded into the dust." Xing admitted that not many people will be able to use their product because of the lack of high speed connections. In my opinion, they will lose out again because when high speed connections for personal use become mainstream in a couple of years or so, RNWK will still be king of the hill. Their streaming video is of VERY good quality when viewed at 300 Kbs or better. So when many of us have connections that fast in a little while who will customers chose? My guess is RNWK because they have superior technology, a superior management team with Glaser and the others and a brand name that will still be synonymous with streaming media...unless they get bought out by a huge company that can afford them.
