Anthony: I recognized you over on PKGP. As a long time IATV participant, do you really see similarities with PKGP? There are times when those people seem to be from another planet, especially on Yahoo. There is a ton of manipulation going on, and, depending on the time of day, or week, plenty of bashers. And there are manipulators within the board who make themselves appear to be "friendlies". Whether PKGP is a good company or not, I don't know. It is purely speculative, in my opinion. I don't see the same thing here, and generally find the contributors are well informed and respectful of each other (especially since the Mailman went to poster heaven, or whatever happened to him). I believe the company has excellent prospects, a fabulous future, and nowhere to go but up. Once the boxes are in place, programming is set, and the product is advertised, I believe we'll have a going and growing business. I would attribute resistance at this time, not to manipulation, but more to a really slow roll-out which can't be blamed on IATV. The roll-out seems to be a fairly cumbersome procedure, involving a lot of other players. But this IS the first of its kind, after all, and I would rather have it go more right than fast. And in my opinion, when this program is finally off and running, the stock will be too. Other opinions welcome. DS PS. I didn't get any answers regarding Interactive TV on Comcast in the Sacramento area. They simply weren't prepared to answer questions. But at least it appears the set-top boxes will be in place.
