I SEE! I see AXC leapfrogging the whole streaming-video internet market! It is going to build out two production studios as “model studios”, with web-site development, streaming-video, HDTV, and video-on-demand production capabilities; together with a “Network” superstructure, (perhaps even with management training on top of that). The whole package (units) will be franchised, sold outright, or venture financed by AXC. No involvement in the risks of content flops; a captive customer base for expertise, equipment and supplies (every current employee of AXC becoming both salesman and consultant –they may even have a job for me and Hal!.) I can see AXC networks in every small town in America; wherever there is now a radio or TV station; and throughout the world (at minimum in every reasonably sized city). Because the entire package will be so complete and so reasonably priced (because it is a standardized package of proven elements) there will be both demand from those who want to enter the field and from those who are afraid not to enter the field (those with an agenda or image which must be maintained against the onslaught of free interesting information--i.e. the reich network.) With a superstructure over this infrastructure, AXC becomes a major content provider to the major networks, sucking up content from every corner of the world, making it presentable and broadcast-ready. In effect, a bootstrapping strategy. A house of cards that is a perfect fit in this house of cards in which we live. VIJJA! Vision! To See j-ja As It Really Is!

But AENTV and TV-on-the-Web both clearly did have revenues. Note that they were both slightly profitable in the past, and you can't do that without revenues. <G> Obviously costs are growing faster than revenues, but the revenues have got to be growing, too. More importantly the number of web site visits has got to be growing explosively. Carl
