You're welcomed, Roger.

Now if only some big film/TV studio felt the same way and offered me a fat cushy job helping steer them into the grand future ahead. :-)

Actually, I had such an offer back in 2003 when I released the white paper but the studio's CEO or Chairman of the Board (not sure which to this day) had the executive take back the offer. He said the higher-up was afraid it would send the wrong signal to the rest of Hollywood and p2p "pirates". :-P.

Thanks for the reply Scott,

Loved the whitepaper twittered it some time back, The market is wide open for first movers in providing the technology to intergrate the web to and from the PC/TV,

Cant wait for the games to begin, win win for all.

All the best...

Another player is also DVR recorders. If they have a wireless connection to your computer, they might provide another bridge for TV makers to get ahead of computer monitor makers. I talked to one DVR maker and this is possible right now. The only reason they haven't offered it is because of fears of being sued by RIAA and MPAA. That's it. They have the technology right now to have a wireless transmitter that can be plugged into one of your computer's USB ports and it then communicate with their DVR recorder. I believe it is only a matter of time before a DVR maker takes the gamble to offer something none of his competitors are offering.

Roger, then the Last Dash have been conquered. That's good for all. And TV makers are already working on making this happen as are computer monitor makers. They're both now looking at each other as competitors. Who will win out? I really don't care. All I care about is that it happens. Another player in this battle is video game console makers. They might provide a bridge for some TV makers to get ahead of the computer monitor makers.

@Scott Jensen, The white paper is on point but, what happens to the last dash when TV's come with an OS with a qwerty remote control, in this instant TV's become PC's, the last dash becomes a seemless dash.

The TV manufacturers will need to provide opensource firmware to stay in the running, or like Nokia and Motorola become a iritating noise.

"The big obstacle, he said, was funding."

No - it's him. He's over 25. His brain is not wired for the new economy.

"launching an authorized P2P video service would probably cost more than the U.S. economic recovery plan"

Yeah, because he can't get his head around how to do it. Those Herman Miller chairs and fancy cars cost a lot but add no value to the business model.

"I don’t even know if it’s possible"

Then stop talking about it. I'll go on record and predict that there will be at least one company, in the next 12 months, that will be successfully using P2P and Video.

I've seen what some amazing little companies have been working on in the past 24 months with respect to Video and P2P. Some are really close to market and you'll start seeing what a young group of people with a firm grasp of the new economy can do.

The key is giving up on making your profit off of CD/download sales of your music but instead viewing p2p as a way of promoting your live concerts. Click on my name. I did a white paper on this in 2003. Still valid.

The Labels are dropping DRM and are prepared to offer a unlimited download service for a monthly subscription fee to stay alive .

Warner has already sewn up such a deal in the UK where users pay a $25 subscription for a “All you can eat” MP3 downloadservice through Virgin broadband this is where the Digital Fingerprinting tech comes in because they can keep the service in network with :filtering the firngerprinted MP3s and and they can manage the payments to artists either through a collective licencing model or a flat fee .And you dont get sued !!!!!
