Lucent is no competition. I've spoken with folks in European TV. They tell me Lucent was aired in Hannover ONLY because they were a sponsor. Otherwise, the Lucent product received ho-hum response. Questec's TennisProView, on the other hand, received rave reviews. Unfortunately, since Lucent were the sponsor for the Hannover ATP event, I understand they pulled the plug from Questec for the world feed. Why? Because it made their product look shoddy. Furthermore, Lucent's sports tracking technology is definitely inferior. For example, they announced in November that they have been trying to track a tennis ball for three years. Hello! By way of contrast, Questec went from concept to actual production in eight months. My European sources also inform me that there is great demand and "buzz" about TennisProView among the major European TV stations. Personally, I would imagine there is a reasonable chance for Questec to become a standard part of the major international tennis tournaments. This would mean that TennisProView would be part of the "world feed" for these major events, and seen by viewers all over the world. I suspect that Lucent will perservere and come up with something, eventually. But by then Questec will entrenched with a dominant technological and political lead. I remain very bullish on Questec, both in the near-term (baseball and related) and long-term (tennis, golf, new sports, new products and applications).
