They are going to have to go to a subscription model. According to all the posts, they supposedly have access to well over a thousand movies. If they get everything freaking uploaded, they could do an actual subscription model. They don't have the content to justify it yet, and I don't think they are going to see a profit until they get there. Right now, they are not going to be any competition to Netflix or Hulu with the exception of those wanting to relive some old movie memories with a highly updated visual addition. Is it cool? Sure! Is it $5 cool? I don't know. It wouldn't be for me, but then again, I'm more frugal with my disposable income than others may be. I still doubt that most of these old movies are going to have much income; certainly not the projected/theorized income by some of your cohorts on that autocracy you guys call the NTEK board. No offense to you of course. I just think that some of their projections are absolutely pie-in-the-sky and there's no way we're going to see the numbers they are anticipating with the content NTEK has. Standard pumping procedure.

Let me be clear, I don't expect NTEK to have brand new a-list content. That's totally unreasonable for a newer company, and film companies aren't going to trust some newish company with their product. But if they had the NP-1, and, if they had managed to get anything deployed that they said they were going to do from what became NTGL, NTEK would have had some sort of income for the company to show they are legitimate and help them pay for the subscription model. But nothing is deployed from them that can be sold except in very small amounts, they have spent money on acquisitions that were honestly a waste of our investment in them, and they have had constant delays (and they certainly aren't telling us anything) so...yeah. Then they split off NTGL and we STILL don't have our damned shares. THAT is screwed up. Incorrigible that we still don't have those. Anyway, I haven't run a tech company so I don't claim to say I could have done anything better, but then again, I'm not part of a team that has all this background in technology. It's ridiculous how long they have taken to get all the very little they have gotten done at this time. It's freaking technology. They can NOT delay the amount they have and expect that someone isn't going to roll right past them. I'd honestly be surprised that a larger company hasn't already started to work on the technology they are using.

Which brings me to something that just dawned on me. The big claim to fame is the compression algorithm that NTEK uses. Ok this is going to sound bash-y and I don't mean it to...just an actual question, and certainly not one I could actually ask on the NTEK board. Perfectly legitimate question, but it'd get deleted moments after I hit enter. In light of the whole NP-1 debacle, have we seen anything other than just NTEK saying that the algorithm actually only uses the throughput they say they do? Considering some of the sketchy things they have told us in the past, do we have someone OTHER than NTEK that has tested out the actual throughput on that? If so, great. I may have just missed it, and honestly it just occurred to me that this could be another 50,000 NP-1s. As usual with these guys, I hope I am wrong and someone verifiable and unbiased has checked the actual throughput with their algorithm. I would assume that people like Samsung and Sony would have done some testing on their own, but that's purely supposition on my part and they may not have done anything of the sort. Just something else to think about I suppose.

Sorry for the novel.
