From Yahoo. I found this post informative.
<<wavo is next amzn.>>
Well, sort of. Everyone knows that Amazon has yet to make
much, if any, money. They also know that Amazon is just
one of many, many booksellers out there who sell or want to sell
books over the web. Why is Amazon so big? Two reasons: First
most investors think anything that has to do with the web
means big money (stupid) and because Amazon got it's presence
established first.
Before I talk about WAVO's correlation with Amazon, I should
point out that Amazon probably won't stay as big as it is. Why?
Because all they do is A) have a Web page and B) Have a
place to store books to send out. It's not the most
difficult thing to put togehter. There are a LOT of major
players out their in the book market to can do the same.
NeverTheLess, Amazon has a huge buyin price.
Now think about WAVO. First, think Amazon sells one thing:
Books. Right? Just books. They sell books over the web and
the web is big. How many other markets are there for things
to sell over the Web? Hmmmmm. Still counting? Well,let's
see......there's music, musical intruments, clothes, makeup,
cars, watches, pens, pencils, sexual devices (WAVETOP Wouldn't!?)
jewelry, exercise equipment, drugs, health medicine.....
The list goes on and on and on.
So, OK, now think of how many web pages there are or will
soon be on the web for each and every type of thing you can
buy over the web. Many. Many. There are already probably
twenty major stopping places for books. So, now imagine
your a shopper who doesn't know the web (lots of us), or hell
let's say you DO know the web. But you don't know where to
shop for a book. OK. So you hit Yahoo and type "BOOK".
What do you get? Ouch. It always give ME a headache. I
don't know about you. Now, also, let me remind you, you have
to PAY $20 a month. AND you have to have your phone line
tied up. AND response time for a shopper going from page
to page can be very testing. Very testing indeed.
OK, so now imagine you have WaveTop. You want a book? Sure.
Go to WaveTop. Boom. You're in. Shop for a book. Move around.
Hell, it's all on your hard drive. There's no wait. Your
wife's jabbering on the phone to here Aunt in Kissimee. So
what? You don't need the phone.
Now, the most important part. Wavephores EXCLUSIVELY owns
this market. Now, granted, it's a small subset of the web
market. But, remember, through the conveniece listed
above (FREE, FAST, EASY), it IS, I repeat, IS a market.
So, what does that mean? I'll tell you if you haven't figured
it out already. Can you say "Shelf Space". Wavephore
will sell their shelf space. Hey, you wanna be in my mall?
Well, Barnes and Noble, is already locked in as far as books
go. But, you know, they're contract is ending here pretty
soon. What do you wanna give me?
And that's what it's all about. FREE, easy, shopping.
Now, sure Amazon can be considered a FRAUDUNET stock. I agree.
But Wavephore is for real. They have much more potential than
Amazon, because they own the whole mall.
Nobody else can even think about jumping in on the fun. Why?
Because Wavephore owns the technology to transmit the data.
No one else can jump in for a piece of the action like they
could against Amazon. It's way too hard to implement what
WAVO has been putting into place for years now.
Now, the downside right now is this: There aren't very many
TV Tuner cards out there. But there will be. And when
there is. Well, read all of the above again.
Oh yeah, the argument against this is that the "Last Mile"
super duper high speed data transmission to everyone's PC is
just around the corner. So, you'll be able to shop the web
at super duper high speeds. Think long and hard about that.
That last mile is a VERY VERY long way from showing up. And,
don't forget, also, that WAVEPHORE technology has a lot of
practical uses that don't involve any of this.
