Well, I wouldn't say it's "centered" around OMKT, because it's selling an application (or part of) a total solution. LCOS/USAI partnership will bring in accounts from a media standpoint, whereas CSCO/OMKT will bring in accounts from a manufacturing standpoint. It is now up to Gary, et al at OMKT to pound the pavement and get analysts and investors alike to understand what this all will mean. These soundbites as press releases are nice, but an analyst isn't going to get off his/her butt unless motivated (pictures speak louder than words). I like what OMKT is doing by working with the leaders of IT, and not trying to be an island of un-approachable patented products. This is extremly smart, and shows the maturity of management.

". maybe i'am reading to much into these partnerships. omkt up +1 this morning." OMKT down again today to 13 1/16. Nobody seems to care about these partnerships, certainly not the stock market. They didn't care about the patents either. This stock has been circling the drain since its IPO. It is now about HALF as much as it was in 1996! Why, for God's sake, has this company which is positioned in middle of the most promising industry in history, continued to underperform? Every step of the way it has had all this potential, in this fantastic ecommerce bull market over the last couple of years, and yet the stock continues to make its way down. Can anybody explain what is wrong with this company, besides that it can't make a profit?
