Tom, All of the points you make are valid and we have provided for them (in 30 web sites-cum-TV channels to date!) e.g.
1. Many people will access the live debates because they want to contribute to issues on which they want their opinions heard e.g. climate change (fact for some – myth for many and accurate information for few). Others will participate just to raise their public profiles (witness the number of celebrities who go to extraordinary lengths to achieve notoriety). YouTube gets millions of hits each week but can you even begin to imagine the number it would receive were it interactive? And can you visualize a situation were none of the videos carry copyright problems because they are all originals?
We live in an age when just about everyone has an opinion on everything (though more often than not the validity of our opinions is another issue) and for that reason we do not anticipate any shortage of contributors. We do not, therefore, expect copyright to become an issue for the vast majority of purchasers of these Internet TV channels.
Industry professionals who acquire these channels, however, may well pay their guests. And this is probably what you have in mind?
Incidentally, we will not manage any of these channels – it will be a matter for the purchasers to use them as they see fit. We will host them in an attempt to eliminate contentious material and provide the know-how to globalize them. And we project so many uses for them that we believe we can build a global market for them (the documenting of these is the reason for the two month delay in launching the product).
2. We see the advent of fixed fee mobile ‘phone broadband access to the Internet and similar current developments as steps that will encourage people to access Internet TV as an alternative to home TV. YouTube has advanced that trend enormously. Each purchaser of our TV channels will be a member of our Internet community. It has an easy-to-remember domain which means that visitors will be able to choose what to watch from an enormous number of categories of programs and advertising. Having said that, we plan to provide sales staff to the community who will sell programs to cable TV networks. It should be noted also, that Internet TV is becoming increasingly more acessable from home TV sets.
3. Many people with an interest in video already have some sort of make-shift video recording studios in their homes. Home garages are being converted to studios at a fast pace but mainly for the music industry. When Internet TV really takes off - and that will happen independently of our contribution – the growth of these studios will accelerate.
4. In relation to distribution some is free and some is not.
5. We will let you have a preview of our channels in one week to best describe how the screens display videos and video conferences
We have been using this product in our main businesses for the past year and it has produced significant savings in office space as most of our people now work from home, in travel because we use web conferencing to communicate with our people around the world and in many other areas. Independantly of that we have been able to project so many un-related uses for this product that we believe we can build new markets for Internet TV channels.
Thank you, Tom, for your encouragement
