Ho hum stevieboy; you're boring and predictable. Every srcm press release is hype[even the one WRITTEN AND RELEASED by OpenTV], and every release by any other co that mentions interactive tv or set top boxes is your gospel and the final nail in the coffin of srcm. If you're going to obsessively post at least try and come up with a little different spin already. Your old one is tired and despite your best efforts is so transparrent is laughable. <<<''Insight's launch of digital television will be highly appealing to our customers, as we are able to provide a bundle of quality interactive services via the LocalSource⢠suite of interactive capabilities,'' said Michael Willner, president and CEO of Insight Communications. ''The combination of DIVA's On Demand TV service and Interactive Channel's LocalSource⢠television, is one of the key elements to growing our digital business.'' In addition to the agreements for joint marketing and business development, the two companies are contemplating the development of integrated services -- standalone applications running on the General Instrument DCT series digital terminals -- that will provide video on demand services from DIVA and other digital services from Interactive Channel. The parties will also develop a joint demo video for MSO presentations of their services. >>> Yeah stevie, srcm just keeps making deals and forging new relationships and you keep shorting and bad mouthing. Well, it's not like you weren't warned. <<<DIVA will attempt to sign deals with all of the EPG's (electronic program guides) like SRCM so that they have access to any of the cable operators the Interactive software companies might sign. I have spoken to high level managers at DIVA operations.>>> Whoa there sonnyboy. Be careful, if I didn't know you any better I might think you just admitted srcm has a product, an electronic program guide. AND it's a product somebody wants, DIVA!!! So high level managers at DIVA told you this too!!! How exciting!!! But it means nothing you say because Diva might do this with other folks too. Care to speculate on who that might be?? Who else is marketing EPG's?? And who even cares if they do?? SRCM doesn't have to be the only player, they just have to be a player. It is not an all or nothing game. I wonder if your hi level exec friends from DIVA explained that to you. cheers bud get used to fighting these announcements. ever hear of don quihote?? it's gonna be nothing but windmills for ya. mw PS when are those damn auditors from ernst&Young gonna find out what you disclosed in JULY and quit like you said??? I'm leaving time open to read the restated financials you said were coming, too. Should I go get a book instead?? And how are your not so brite friends in Michigan doing? I've been looking but I haven't seen much of the exodus of additional customers you claimed would happen to the IT Network. Cheers bud ROFL and IMO mw
