Pure Folder... TOYA? Let's call it TALKING OUT YOUR ANGST. ok? Whatever. Let me or jas assuage your mind. This is not a matter of "build it and they will come." That's ass-backward. The technological functionality the WaveMeter represents is inexorable. WAVX is its REPRESENTATIVE! Hello out there! OEM and Consumer "acceptance" will not be an altogether conscious choice. Rather, as has been said, the OEM's will fall like dominoes into the attraction of it all. Pulled, as it were, toward providing consumers a futuristic basketful of amenities they've come to actually expect and anticipate from the computer's affects on human communications. Consumers will "accept" the WaveMeter as they accept technological change in general. That is, without so much as noticing that they are using yet another modern application of convenience that a few years ago wasn't even available but has now become a fixture they take for granted - like the MicroWave Oven. The WaveMeter's technology will prove to be as Sammy Says, "just another example of Internet hype," only if the Internet and E-commerce prove out to be utterly futile endeavors and Yahoo! thus drops to 50 cents a share. (Which is where Yahoo! belongs relative to the POTENTIAL revenue generating machine that Wave System's WaveMeter is by compare at 4 bucks a share). Don't fret about the OEM's currently sitting on the sidelines. They will be less successful for it. The WaveMeter's innovations and success are inevitable. The WaveMeter will be to e-commerce what the MicroWave Oven is to reheating our leftover pizza! Extremely useful. We will be assimilated. Your friend, Marty

Pure Folder: The Business Week Online article has some good points about the potential for business-to-business revenue. With so many companies utilizing a horizontal style of management where smaller and smaller employee units make their own purchase and production decisions, and with so much company-specific business being handled on the Internet, Wave could earn significant revenue from pay-per-use of business software such as the "specialized spreadsheet program for one hour" scenario. The pay-per-use and rent-to-buy potential of business software could involve infinite possibilities with engineering, manufacturing, architecture etc. There is also potential for Wave enabled legal and medical research data for purchase from professional libraries and/or CD ROM. It's conceivable that the overall digital content distribution possibilities for Wave could ultimately be greater on the business-to-business side. I believe Doc Stone once mentioned another possibility for the WaveMeter to provide corporate management with metering and data tracking information of business activities by the growing percentage of employees who are wired. Furthermore, there may be potential for the WaveMeter to function as a hardware firewall devise for PC-based electronic wallets (with credit card and smartcard accounts) for online commerce. Wave would probably receive monthly or annual license fees per active cardholder for this service. Obviously this could generate enormous revenue if the WaveMeter became the industry standard for this function. Have a good weekend all. Wahoograd
