re: Video as the next "breakthrough" technology for the Internet - forecasted in 2000 |

Kenneth,
There is little in your posting that can be contradicted and if it described our Internet TV channels you would indeed have “rained on my parade” (and believe me when I tell you we know all about rain in this part of the world!).
Let’s therefore take a closer look at our concept:
Our initial attempt at combining web conferencing with video advertising to build an internet TV channel was built by a techie; he was employed to simply make it work which is the reason those initial sites-cum-channels you saw were not advertised but wait for the new concept in design which will launch our product next month and you will be impressed. In fact, you will, when you view it, witness the dawning of the day when Internet TV channels will be as common as computers are today (and you will recall being cautioned many years ago that computers would never become popular).
You mention, quite rightly, that video advertising has not reached its potential but streaming video technology which is essential to the success of our concept had not until recently been sufficiently technically advanced to serve our purposes. Currently, however, leading industry analysts predict (and I can provide details to you) that streaming video sales will grow from its current level of some $2 Billion a year in the US to $12 billion over the next few years in that country. Our second ingredient, Web conferencing technology, had advanced little until recently but now you can rent a top class conferencing facility for up to $18,000 per day!
I shudder (with you) at the thought of people acquiring one of our internet TV channels to show home movies; that is one of the reasons we provide them with a 1,000 page reference manual which directs them on how to acquire videos relevant to their businesses or other pursuits, free of charge. Full details of how to use them must remain our secret. As for training people to use web conferencing to interview experts in any field, that has been done successfully by several corporations which I can name
Finally, Kenneth, making the world’s film library available to the world is not of interest to us – Google are already doing that. We have built the world’s first Interactive internet TV channel and I hope you will be the first to contribute to live debates AUDIO-VISUALLY on them from your cell ‘phone.
Bottom line: People retain 10% of what they read but 80% of what they see.
