Dear Spotter: You should read wave.com. The Wave system induces new economies in the distribution of digital content, yielding savings that can be shared on all sides of an e.commerce transaction -- content provider, platform, and Wave. Best wishes.

how does Wave make a dime out of it? I have been wondering the same. However, I have such a good feeling about this one I keep buying more.

"How does Wave make $$ ?" Wave management does not generally give out specifics on their plan for sharing revenues but I do recall a previous post that stated the pro-forma plan was for the content provider to receive about 50%, the computer manufacturer 25% and wave 25%. This was Pre- H.P., and may be different today but something close to this would appear to make sense.

Take a look at the 'Software in Your Cereal' article from PC magazine @ zdnet.com . It talks about a product that allows massive distribution of a secured application which can then be rented for a few hours rented for the weekend outright purchased It doesn't have the security of a wavemeter, since it is a software solution. It is doing server-side security so a connection needs to be made more often than with a wavemeter. However, it is available on all PCs now. How much of a threat is this product (and similar), since they can get established before the wavemeters start rolling out into homes near you?
