quick help. thoughts to a couple questions
Quote:
- Do they see the Verizon development of faster download speeds affect their competitive advantage? I don't know how far away Verizon is from installing Gps speeds on a residential basis, but if/when they do, the difference between NTEK's 4Mps and 25Mps of the competition will become far less critical. What do they see as their other competitive advantages that will make them the choice of users around the world?



1. research current internet speeds
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countri...ion_speeds

let's say avg. is 11.5 (wikipedia. u.s.)
your questions ask about 1 part of the equation. availability

what about cost to consumer?
will they pay $xx/mo for higher speed ? why would they? if they don't have to (w/ ultraflix ). just a question. and that's just one other part



what about service provider costs for delivery? (netflix, hulu, hbo, starz, ultraflix... )
my calculations. ntek can save a streaming service provider (at least, the very least ) $750,000 per 1million movies streamed (delivering at the lower bitrates ). what about the customer getting pristine uhd content

reliable. buffer-free. delivered during peak times. at reduced cost is unappealing? does that mean ntek will become a "utility" of sorts? idk



the 1st part of your question is about speed availability (which isn't nationally prevalent now. according to my research. maybe another 3 -10 years . the tech is here. in some instances. but it might be another 3yrs before 4k/uhd and other forces gain momo. traction. to drive it out. at reasonable costs . and its widely adopted. et al )

and even when it is. will you pay for it? (if you don't have to? ) maybe you can afford it. but what about the mainstream majority? will they . research shows they will buy the absolute best tv they can not afford (true. detroit/u.s. stories of crumbling homes. unemployment. yet people had large, often flat screen. newer. bigger tvs ). but if ultraflix can stream their movies without increasing their utility costs, why would they use others ?


consider mobile phones. sony is making 4k phones. others are too. 4k will be everywhere. no pixelation when you zoom in. and other reasons for it. bottom-line, ...its coming

but who wants to pay those data charges ?

well, about 30% of mobile users (younger generation,like me ) stream video, tv, movies, sports ...and that market-segment is growing. if 4k transmissions are about 5x current hd data (which is what the math works out to. about )...

and we consider same in tablets (where older users outnumber younger )


who wants to pay 5x their current mobile/data plan ?


no one right ? but they eventually will. this is the time for tvs. but users will want to take their content "on-the-go". and ultraflix makes it cost effective for providers to deliver. and users to consume


users and providers (get the ultraflix benefit)



but let's say that the market is stubborn. unwilling. and internet speeds start creeping up (as they have ). whether people find higher internet speeds (or not ), adopt (and pay for them), or not, ultraflix still gets samsung, vizio, sony, hisense, nvidia, mobile, tablets and others market penetration

real. right now. market penetration (since if the average internet speed is 11.5mb/s ntek can deliver to more people. now. than those who claim to need 25mb/s or more ). whatever the current market size. ultraflix can penetrate more users than anyone else. currently. at current internet infrastructure


not everyone has access to 100mb/s even if they could afford it. if the real u.s. average is 11.5mb/s (lets just say) then ntek reaches more consumers at 4mb/s (with 4k. better quality streaming ) than anyone else (that we know about)

isn't that valuable. important to know



the way 4k/uhd is moving. people won't have a choice but to adopt. like standard definition before high definition. there comes a point where manufactures are going to push one. drop the other

they have to keep the manufacturing. product selling circle-jerk going too. hey, they hafta eat as well. right? out come the new products. while the old stuff goes on e-bay. to become antiques. collectors items (like v8 tapes, vinyl records, cassette tapes, cds, and all the other stuff people have said g'bye to )



2. understand costs associated (on both ends)
- consumer
-delivery


3. adoption rates
- tech (4k)
- internet speeds (current and future)

consider 1,2, and 3 on ur own. come up with your own conclusions. share if you dare

a quick help. some of the research i've done (and am willing to share ). whether you invest in ntek (add, subtract, neutral ) 4k is worth researching i think. there are opportunities. the more we understand the issues (remain a student ), the more opportunities we see. the better investors we become




- How has Interstellar/GI Joe performed compared to their expectations? Do they have revenue figures to share and how do they compare to acquisition costs?


a key consideration. 4k market. size and scope. till 4k is pervasive, expect some films are acquired for purposes like promotions, marketing. rather than a simple cost/profit calculation

not claiming to know. saying that "interstellar" ( e.g.) might have been necessary. for samsung. vizio. hisense. future promotions

plus the 4k market isn't fully developed, yet. there's growth and expansion coming. 2015 holiday through 2017 (or 2016 at the least) is critical for ultraflix (and the industry as a whole )







- What is their revenue plan - subscriptions, on demand/pay as you use, etc? What are their current models showing them in regards to opportunities in the market to provide revenue outlook both near term and longer term?
