I think this is a relevant point. Amazon, which has accelerated my addiction to reading since it makes it so damn easy to buy on impulse, has added music some months ago and video very recently. Movie trailers sell movies and I suspect Amazon would want movie trailers to sell videos on their site. Rather than build the infrastructure to meet the quality requirements of the film companies who will not want crappy trailers hawking their stuff, there is opportunity for a web based video services company to handle all the video;an end to end solution. This video services company will not be competing with Amazon or Yahoo, but is an enabler allowing those sites to further be enhanced.....video on the web is important because of the "length of stay" regarding the eyeballs Madison ave is interested in....

<< , there may even be a quiet period which will further exasperate shareholders.>> Is even greater exasperation possible, Ed? Well AXC does push the envelope. Maybe that's hush hush exasperation R&D they have been doing the last several years. Your point about the best of plans taking time is mighty accurate though in my opinion. Isn't that one button buying on Amazon great Jubimer? Took me awhile to realize they were selling video too...didn't advertise it at first. Without question, the billboards presently littering the net will become videos someday. A thousand uses. Well, I like the new arena for AXC...like the way it may meld with what they have to offer. Like the potential structure of a holding company approach. Hope the results match the potential. Sort of wish i was just buying my initial stake with the patience that accompanies that purchase. Meery Christmas all,,,,and Happy Sleuthing.
