Thanks for clarifying the vision. What you are saying here, parallels my own thoughts on the future of this company.

Hi, BAM -

Thanks for another stellar post on RNWK scenarios / possible link-ups. Some interesting thoughts.

Combo with net consolidator in some manner seems logical.

Combo with telco -- that's provocative ! What about 'new media' vs. 'old media' culture / valuation gaps a la USAI / Lycos ? Wouldn't that be a problem with market and shareholder reaction ?

On the other hand, how about QCOM alliance ? Kill two birds with one stone: ride CDMA into China -- not to mention the rest of the world -- on some hi-res handset screens with stereo ? A little bit over the horizon.

WCOM would have the savvy but not the universal platform base you alluded to (NXTL too far removed IMO).

Interesting thoughts -- great fun and drama to see the RNWK story unfold now that chapter one of the BCST script has ended with a welcome conclusion.

Awaiting new move in streaming media chess match.

Thanks again and good luck -

George Martin
