Given the news release (follows) of last week it seems to me that this technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we view all types of sports on television...in addition to tennis. Other applications of this technology also come to mind. Now that they have given Fox Sports an option until May 3rd to pick up use of the technology for tennis where do they go next? Any thoughts? Stock closed Friday at .70 on OTC BB: gpg QuesTec's TennisProView debuts on FOX Sports Net DEER PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 1999--QuesTec Imaging, Inc., (QuesTec) (NASD-BB: QSTI) and FOX Sports Net announce an agreement to integrate QuesTec's TennisProView(TM)with televised coverage of professional tennis.
