Andrew... Das ist gut! We will be assimilated.... that is, our WaveMeter. It will then be only a matter of a little more time, speed and bandwidth. Not to be redundant, this is from the article referred to by SlateColt in post #2504. "Of course, this new world will distribute its benefits differently than how they are distributed today. But as long as the rules are the same for everyone - and predictable - the game is fair. The big issue is the transition. And there will be rules: copying content will be easy and acceptable in most cases; protected content will be "special," presumed to be of high value. (And it will have to be if the creators want to keep their reputations.) Protected content will be tagged and monitored (for one method, see "Digital Watermarks," page 141), and use will be metered. Some payments will be for content, some for time, some for transactions. This system of control will be managed by efficient, well-designed computer systems - a delightful intellectual engineering challenge that will keep many programmers and companies busy for years, and that will reward some venture capitalists." Cheers! Marty

something else from the E3 blurb on wavx's website available at wave.com === Wave Systems Corp. exhibited "in force" with a 50'x50' booth showcasing a live stage presentation that gave guests an executive overview of the new models in content distribution, electronic commerce, customer data collection and revenue generation that Wave technology enables. === notice the data collection part. i hope they tread lightly, here. many people are very sensitive about anything that can be looked at as big brother-like. on the other hand, anonymized data can be non-intrusive to the end-user and very beneficial to the content provider who would like to tailor their offerings to what their customers like. marc
