Great, today's news in Newsday (local paper most won't see) and it still tanked. Nothing new in the article that hasn't been printed. If,If, If continues to be listed in even this story. Good Luck longs and shorts.

I just love these Local Paper articles so I can tear them apart. consumers know what HDTV is, they won't be confused into accepting DTV in the mean time. they want the 16x9 aspect ratio of HDTV on their PC screens, not this DTV crap. Besides, DTV's 19mb/sec pipeline is useless with interactive addressable systems as many people will have to share that bandwidth for DTV/WAVX to be effective, all this assuming that broadcaster will simply unite under a standard to beam out coordinated premium content. This whole WAVX thing is impossible. It sounds nice to investors, but logistically it will never fly. DirecPC from Huges uses a similar architecture, but they can get away with it because their satellites handle Terre Bytes of Bandwidth, not Mega Bytes, and the broadcast is rarely continuous, as it would have to be with streaming audio/video content. BTW, HAUP's own recent press release pegs the card price at $500, not $300. a BIG Difference. Truth be told, I can live with HAUP staying in the $20's while this deal pans out, but seeing that WAVX penny stock trading at $25, really makes me laugh.
