Topfuel....... DD.....can't see the forest through the trees..... We all know that TSIG is NOT just a cd internet retailer or "e-tailer"... Cd's are only the first storefront in a range of retail products to be offered by TSIG, plus TSIG will have downloadable capabilities thanks to Amplified. However, e-tailing is only part of TSIG's capabilities as you yourself noted with the Teleservices part of the business plan which provides both stand alone and integrated services. By stand alone, I mean the teleservices can support other companies efforts. By integrated, the teleservices provide a level of service not offered by other e-tailers and is forward looking because of the forthcoming evolvement of internet telephony. the teleservices support the e-tailing...thus the two components are INTEGRATED. But this is not ALL, TSIG is also a marketing company and thus the expression that TSIG is in the CARD BUSINESS and not just the cd or book or travel business. TSIG cards and web sites generate EXPOSURE, business, and charitable funds for both corporate and non-for-profit partners and these partners web sites that TSIG developments with the talents of John Hwang. (Note that when TSIG's name is associated with a "branded" name, TSIG "co-brands" it name with a recognized company like Kodak. It will be interesting to see what other corporations that TSIG co-brands with soon). Thus TSIG is also a web site developer.......for its partners and clients. In summary... 1...E-tailor of many products...cd's are just the first item. 2...Teleservice company providing stand alone and integrated services 3...A marketing company generating exposure for TSIG and its partners 4...A web site developer, developing sites and pages for its partners and clients. Or in other words TSIG does a little bit more than just sell cd's.... DD just doesn't yet realize the size of the undertaking that TSIG is undertaking....if he did, he'd realize that his other posts are equally irrelevant. Sincerely, ztect
