Let me know when it deploys.  I believe it will be a unique achievement:
the first thing you've ever posted to OpenDTV that actually had a basis in
reality.  Until then ...

Desire is shown best in accomplishments.  Desire without achievements is
overstated desire.

John,

You wouldn't settle for figuratively lying or just plain lying? It has
to be emphatically, intensely "literally" lying?

And I don't  remember saying they were being held up. F**K or not.

 From what I understand one thing they seem to have in spades is DESIRE.
Whether as some suggest there may or may not be demand who knows. They
were in a big hurry last I heard. Content seems to be a big worry with
you. Doesn't seem to be a big problem with them unless you mean picking
among a plethora of choices with limited bandwidth.

Problems till now included waiting for DVB-h to be finalized. Was it in
February? And then they have to design and build receivers and do some
market test in the real world. I heard Eastern US City sometime in the
next few months.

Real company, real spectrum but who knows anything can happen. I
wouldn't want to build a business with DVB-h on cell phones.

They could be going gangbusters or have quit, I haven't heard anything
in over a month. And I make no case for their ability to "make
compelling content". And then again in a year or so maybe we will all be
watching TV while we take pictures with our cell phones. Who would have
believed any of this a few years ago.
