Klingerg, I did not play any games at E3 but I did enjoy observing. It was an awesome show, maybe one of the most elaborate to grace any industry. If anyone has ever seen the movie "Blade Runner" with Harrison Ford, there were times that the large West Hall exhibit floor reminded me of that movie. The West Hall included major companies like Nintendo, Electronic Arts, Disney, Microsoft, Acclaim and perhaps Wave's largest content partner, GT Interactive. Fortunately Wave was in the East Hall where it was much quieter and easier to follow their presentation. Wahoograd

To all for your comments....Todays WSJ article, front page, "The Old System Is Facing Overload, So Sprint Has a Plan...A$200 'Meter' to Track Usage" Pertinent paragraph "....Sprint calls its system the 'Integrated On-Demand Network' or ION. The system would measure and bill for service based not on the number of minutes a person spends on the phone but on the number of digital bits the customer transmits in a given month. Usage would be measured by a little box that acts like an electric meter and is placed in a home or office." Call me crazy but this sounds suspiciously like a "Wavemeter" like instrument. Any of you technical folks out there think the same? As for you legal types, how broad are the patents that Wave has and would they cover a use such as this? This is pure speculation on my part but I just couldn't help but wonder aloud to the folks at SI. Let me know what you think. I'm going to look into it.
