W/o cable, I did not see, but here are three consecutive posts from tdot46 on YAHOO! IATV thread: :Business and Finance:Stocks:Technology:Communications Equipment:IATV (ACTV, Inc.) <- Previous Next -> Message 1615 of 1626Reply CNNfntdot46 Oct 31998 4:42PM EDTOk." Watched the tape. Will walk through. Tv about to become more personalized and individualized. 18 mos testing on channels inncluding CNN. Dispalyed box. Explains sports enhance. Shows demo. Kids shows. Big Bird interacts with child. Social implications. Improves sports to news. Improve advert more than anything else. Explain com interactive targeting through consumer choice. Cable ops more money for ads. (OT - our pot of gold) Only company? None like us. "Already in commercial launch in Texas and soon going to be comming to you the viewer" a verbatim quote Cost? FXSplus premium. As digital pervasive - some programming advertiser supported. Some PPV. Some premium. All you need is box. Simply easy to use. His mother can do it. That's it. I'd like to hear his defintion of commercial launch. We launched months ago. When available to all on Dallas system and when do fees start? All in all it was pretty good. Clips of sports enhance and advertising targeting. ***************************************************************************************** Forgot. 6+ minutes. Meaning, I guess, that the interview was 6+ minutes long. ***************************************************************************************** Now we need actual lunches of various apps to begin rev generation. Analysts will very quickly be able to calc eps potential of a real cash cow. Caveat! Now that we are for real with LM deal we need to see rev deals for the actual use of the apps much more favorable toward actv in exchange for the tech rights. I'm tired of being the weak sister at the table. Like in ads a percentage of ad revs, plus a flat royalty fee per use. And so forth. All kinds of creative ways to deal so the upside is not limited for us. Better not be giving away for a song anymore. LM got an incredible deal. 2.5M shs for $5M and a "warrant" for 2.5M shs for $5M more any time til 2008. Total is 17.4% according to 13D filing. The new LLC jv 1/3actv and 2/3 LM looks good. Probable first step to and IPO spin off from LM next year. Say offer 20% of 15Mshs of stock for 15 share and you get 4M x 15 = 60M. Actv 1/3 is 20M. Now you've got some capitalization you can really work with. Still retains 1/3 of 80% of the LLC for actv. Go for it. That's enough bargain basement deals. Let's play hardball now and shop it around if someone wants to lowball us. We now can bargain from a position of strength. Next deal lets call all those 7% convert pref and exchangeable prefs and use those as issuing stock so we can clean them all up at once and get into "strong hands". It's obvios they are still selling into demand. Ready to "rock and roll". I do not vouch for the poster, but I liked the part where Samuels is said to believe that advertising is the most fertile ground, only because that's where the $$ is.
