The only thing I'm not holding my breath on is MPEG4 video on 28.8. I can't even get audio at 28.8 without hitting net congestion, and the video is laughable. Part of the slowness in making announcements is probably caused by a rift that developed between VDAT and the PR firm they hired on 2/1. They have since replaced that firm with a world-class digital-age company and should be back on track soon. They will need to grow their infrastructure quickly, to be sure. It will also be a difficult mindset change; as late as December they were still struggling with severe cash-flow problems, and it was only the surge in the stock in Dec and Jan that has given them the breathing room to focus on growth rather than survival. At the same time, it was partly the increased visibility of the company that put them on the radar screen of the types of companies you mention. IMO, we already know we've hit a home run with this company, in the next few months we'll find out how far we hit the ball and how many men were on base. Should be fun. dr
