Thanks for the info. I'm attaching the data specs from the Terminator Genysis Trailer that ANYONE can download from Ultraflix.com.
Sammy2015, what do the specs tell you?
1. You don't need to log in to do this, nor did you to view the full movie.
2. I could not just send anyone the link and share it, because the link code changes and is unique to your session. The link will only open up on the device you got the source code from.
3. That would not prevent however, anyone from downloading the film and burning copies of it or setting up torrents, a popular method of pirating films.
4. I could walk my grandmother through this - it's that easy. Anyone can at anytime view the source code of any web page they are viewing. If you can copy and paste, that's the requisite skill..
5. You can confirm via the source code which company the film is from i.e. Paramount, mgm etc.
I'm not a "tech geek" but you can be sure that kid that tweeted "TIP: check the source code" and the guy who tried to put up the link to share the direct download of the movie that Sleepy shared - they both have nice free copies of Terminator Genysis at home, courtesy of NTEK. And anyone else who figured out what they were doing when the full movie was up.
This was sloppy work. I don't think Paramount would consider this minor or "not a big deal". It's easier than the old school Napster and you never have to log in.
In the end the trailers are all free on YouTube, the security of them on Ultraflix is not an issue in my opinion. Placing the full film on the website in the exact manner of the trailers? Yeah, that was not a smart move. Big time security issue.
The MP4 Files opened up in QuickTime
720P trailer:
Data Size: 19.6 MB
H.264, 3840x2160, AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo
FPS: 23.98

Current Size: 1280x720
4K trailer:

Oh man, that was waaaay too easy, wow. Took the direct link, control clicked (Mac) the movie window and downloaded the terminator trailer to my computer. Wish I had figured this out a few days ago lol.
They probably shouldn't offer free movies off their website anytime soon, wow.
1280x720
19.6mb file size, H.264 stereo
Cool, thanks. I wanna see if I can download a trailer now..
As far as the labels, they could have deleted the terms 4K or 720p and put literally anything, so the labels themselves are not indications of picture quality, it would need to be determined by another method.
I figured I'd throw the Outerwebz a bone, they've been a great source of entertainment for me and appeared to be struggling with how the whole streaming on the website thing worked.
Well, it may be secure off tv's and devices using the app. I'd be curious to see if you can grab the url of the movie using the Ultraflix app on a Mac. If you can that's real bad for ntek, but again, I don't own a 4K Mac so that's that.
Anyway, if they had thoughts of streaming from their website, which would be a great idea for them to do, they better find a way to conceal their source code because currently anybody can pull the direct links to all of their trailers and use them without giving ntek or the production company credit. Watermarks are irrelevant in this instance.
It can't be hard to do right? Netflix, Hulu etc have all figured it out. So, there's that. What does that say?
So I came across a Twitter post from a kid who found the terminator movie streaming free from ntek servers. He wrote "(TIP: check source code)".
That's a smart cookie.
So, I did too and lol, you could have pulled the direct link to the movie from the code and started watching it with not a whiff of it coming from Ultraflix.
In fact anyone could have passed it off as their own by hyper linking a non-Ultraflix link from their own website. So much for security.
To verify go to Ultraflix.com and click a title. Then look at the source code for the page. Copy from https all the way to the '. Paste into browser and you'll see what I mean. Note the labels could have been called anything, and NTeK put their mp4's into folders i.e. Paramount, mgm etc.
I tried pasting the source code into this post but the html must be confusing to post.
Thanks for your many insightful contributions to this board.
No, you've missed a golden opportunity here to somehow link ntek to this story. I'll help, include the words buyout, partner, or even mention that the company is aware of ntek, stuff like that you know? Bonus points for using the word apple.
So true.
You would think by now even the most ardent supporters who wouldn't dream of this being a scam, might consider at this point, it may not even matter who's right or wrong, death spiral, .0064, no bottom in sight.
"CHEAPIES!!"
11/11/2014, closed at .045
s to you shorties for all the cheapies I grabbed today!
Two more bucket-fulls of NTEK's golden shares!!!
How many consecutive days have we set new 52 week lows? It's a daily occurrence around here. A Black Friday of epic proportions. Even if it closes green, further to fall tomorrow.
Oh man this is rich. Thank You Outerwebz:
"Base your thinking on the entire authorized as being outstanding. The problem is the non existent shares being sold . The share increases likely would not have even been necessary were we not the target of naked shorters.
I would not be shocked if the naked short was close to a billion shares.
What is going on here is very similar to what happened to SIRI and I expect when all is said and done our chart will look similar to theirs although I do expect bigger numbers...
Just a matter of time until we begin our upward climb. Go NTEK!!!"
$$NTEK$$ I'm looking forward to reading the following inevitable compensatory phrases and attempts that will surface now that Black Friday 2015 is a thing of the past:
1. "Can't wait to see where we will be in 2016, and 2017."
How many months do we have before it gets changed to 2017, and 2018?
At least these far reaching claims can't be disproved for a year. There's that.
I can do it too, see: NTEK grinds down to the grey sheets in 2016, delisted by 2017. We could argue whose claim is more plausible.
2. ".xx" pps by "X date". Always wrong, never seems to stop anyone.
3. Audited fins by "X date". Always wrong, have been since 2013.
4. Although NTEK has not moved past testing (1x) a 4K stream from Levi's Stadium, and we have not seen (1) pre-game 49ers show broadcast, it's always amusing to see claims that somehow we are now streaming anything (the game, pregame, halftime, you name it) for the next Super Bowl.
5. Articles being posted about real companies entering and succeeding in the UHD streaming market space that have zero to do with ntek except the fact that ntek shares that market space - and then proceeding to add ntek to the story as if they are involved somehow.
6. Unfounded claims: mergers, buyouts, buybacks, dividends, distributions. Again, always wrong and if it does happen, never when it's supposed to happen.
7. The Royal Capital Group cover up doesn't matter.
Define "unrelated" and "unaffiliated" please.
All of these absurdities is very much like trying to hit a dart board after drinking a 12 pack, spinning around a bat 20 times - blindfolded, and then trying to hit a dart board. How do you take that seriously? Lol.
Damn, I feel like I'm missing some...
Some "serious", solid $$$ NTEK $$$ DD:
I just read a Bloomberg article that showed a photo of an MGM vp. He was wearing brown shoes. At the SH meeting, an NTEK exec. was wearing brown shoes. Consequently, I would not be surprised if MGM and NTEK are working on an epic deal.
I read that live sporting events will drive 4k adoption (that, and porn). NTEK streams 4K, in fact they TESTED a live stream and it worked and since the Superbowl is being played at the same stadium that they ran the test in - well, let's just say we could all be watching an Ultraflix only half time show this year. Boom..
That NTEK guy worked for Roku and I'm wondering now if the Ultraflix app delay on Roku 4 has something to do with Roku buying NTEK. It would make perfect sense.
Alan Stone founded Nintendo USA. I would not be surprised to one day wake up and hear that Ultraflix is on a Nintendo device as all gaming systems will soon be streaming in 4K soon, I heard that. Somewhere.
NTEK said NTGL audits would be done "next week" at the SHM months ago. I'll bet they are holding off on audits to give shareholders a Merry Christmas surprise and announce audits right before Christmas!
Lot's of content providers have been announcing exciting new UHD streaming technologies and services except they don't have nearly the content that NTEK does and can't stream at 4mbps. Guess who I think wants a piece of NTEK?? I just read an article..
Bam. Facts. Mark this post.
Dear NTEK, who are the legal owner(s) of the Royal Capital Group Convertible Debentures?
Or can you at least tell me who was picking up the mail for Roycap at the Satellite rental offices?
#ReasonAuditsWillNeverHappen
I do want to caution those who actually respect factual representations - the truth if you will. It appears that the truth is secondary to selling shares or raising the pps. Those who respect the truth ought to make sure they are reporting accurate information based on facts, backed up by evidence, links, etc. I have even seen facts presented that in fact do NOT support claims being made due to the fact that the truth has been distorted and/or the so called facts are actually invalid. Be careful, I believe that NTEK hangs on a "knife's edge" and due diligence feigning higher motives may be in many cases, distortions or omissions of the truth in order for investments to recoup value at 52 week lows. Desperate times call for desperate actions especially when brokerage accounts are deep into the red. I would encourage everyone to self verify the FACTS and ignore wild and fantastical speculations.
The Royal Capital Group NTEK DEATH SPIRAL:
Please DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and self verify my DD Links on Royal Capital Group..
Death Spiral
DEFINITION OF 'DEATH SPIRAL'
A type of loan investors give to a company in exchange for convertible debt, which, like convertible bonds, typically has provisions that allow investors to convert the bonds into stock at below-market prices. This can cause the original shareholders to lose control of the company.
This type of loan is undertaken by companies that desperately need cash. It is called a death spiral because companies' stocks often plunge drastically after they take on these types of loans. It is important to note that death spirals often allow buyers to convert the bonds into shares at a fixed conversion ratio in which the buyer has a large premium.
For example, a bond with a face value of $1,000 may have a convertible value of $1,500, which means that a bondholder will receive $1,500 dollars worth of equity for giving up the $1,000 bond.
However, upon a conversion, more shares are created, which dilutes the share price. This drop in price may cause more bond holders to convert, because the lower share price means that they will be receiving more shares. Any further conversions will cause more price drops as the supply of shares increases, causing the process to repeat itself as the stock's price spirals downward.

4. Fund the company by selling convertible debt to insiders / friends. Bonus points are earned for using front companies based offshore to hide the identities of the beneficial owners of the debt
Defendants falsely claimed two exemptions from registration. Rule
504(b)(1)(iii) exempts from registration offers and sales of securities made
“[e]xclusively according to state law exemptions from registration that permit
general solicitation and general advertising so long as sales are made only to
‘accredited investors.’”9 Defendants do not, in the instant motion, contest the
SEC’s allegations with respect to Defendants’ Rule 504(b)(1)(iii) transactions (the
“Rule 504 Scheme”) and this Opinion therefore does not address them further.10
Rule 144 permits a purchaser to resell unregistered securities if the
purchaser has held the securities for a “holding period,” usually of one year.11 If
certain criteria are met, the purchaser can satisfy the holding period by “tacking” back to the date the original stockholder acquired the unregistered security.12 Rule
144 requires that the instrument held by the original stockholder be a “security.”
To evade Rule 144 requirements, Defendants made it appear that they had satisfied
the holding period, when in fact they were converting a debt to a security and
immediately reselling the stock (the “Convertible Debt Scheme”).13 This entailed
searching the market for convertible “aged debt,” – debt that had been on a penny
stock issuer’s books for the requisite Rule 144 holding period – purchasing the
debt from the long-term creditors at a discount, and obtaining attorney opinion
letters stating that the debts were securities and could be converted to stock
certificates without restrictive legends because the original debt had been
outstanding for over one year.14 Defendants then promptly sold the unrestricted
shares on the market.15 Defendants did not satisfy Rule 144 because the original
debt was not a security but rather was “akin to an ‘IOU’ for services rendered or
compensation owed to a current or former affiliate of the issuer.”16 The SEC
alleges that the “Individual Defendants, who were experienced securities professionals and sophisticated investors, knew or were reckless in not knowing
that the debts were not securities.”17
IV. APPLICABLE LAW
A. Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 makes it illegal
to “use or employ, in connection with the purchase or sale of any security . . . any
manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in contravention of such rules and
regulations as the Commission may prescribe . . . .”29 Rule 10b-5 makes it
unlawful, in connection with the purchase or sale of a security, to: (a) “employ
devices, schemes or artifices to defraud;” (b) “directly or indirectly . . . make any untrue statement of a material fact;” or (c) engage in transactions, practices or
courses of business which [operate] as fraud or deceit upon any person.”30
A Rule 10b-5 violation requires ‘an intent to deceive, manipulate or
defraud.”31 A plaintiff can plead scienter “‘either (a) by alleging facts to show that
defendants had both motive and opportunity to commit fraud, or (b) by alleging
facts that constitute strong circumstantial evidence of conscious misbehavior or
recklessness.’”32 The requisite “strong inference of fraudulent intent”33 may arise
where the complaint alleges “that the defendants: (1) benefitted in a concrete and
personal way from the purported fraud[;] (2) engaged in deliberately illegal behavior[;] (3) knew facts or had access to information suggesting that their public
statements were not accurate [;] or (4) failed to check information they had a duty
to monitor.”34
B. The Complaint Adequately Alleges Scienter
The allegations in the FAC more than suffice to establish a strong
inference of fraudulent intent. The FAC alleges that the Convertible Debt Scheme
enabled Defendants to sell unrestricted stocks for at least one million dollars in proceeds.37 The motives alleged are not generalized profit motives, but rather
suggest a “concrete and personal benefit to the individual defendants resulting
[directly] from the fraud.”38 Defendants also had the opportunity, defined as the
“means and likely prospect of achieving concrete benefits by the means alleged.”39
The FAC alleges that Defendants had the resources to scour the niche market of
Penny Stock Companies for aged debt, purchase that debt at a discount,40 retain
attorneys to opine that the debt was a security eligible for conversion to
unrestricted Penny Stock Company shares, and sell the securities promptly on the
market.41 The fact that the attorney letters were a precondition to the success of the scheme does not undermine the allegations of opportunity to commit fraud –
rather, the fact of obtaining said letters, the sole purpose of which was to further
the alleged scheme, supports the allegations of fraudulent intent.
In addition, the SEC’s allegations that Defendants are “experienced
securities professionals and sophisticated investors” with decades of collective
experience, and Garber’s previous conviction for securities fraud are circumstantial
evidence that Defendants were either conscious of or reckless in not knowing that
the debt in question was not a security for the purposes of the Rule 144
exemption.42 In sum, particularly in light of the allegations regarding the Rule
504(b) scheme, the viability of which Defendants do not contest, the overall picture
painted by the FAC creates a strong inference that Defendants possessed the
requisite fraudulent intent in carrying out the Convertible Debt Scheme.
What a freaking circus. Wow.
Here's one for ya. This one was probably labeled as "sheeple" within the first 15 seconds. Hilarious.
11/30/15 Outerwebz. An endless supply of material. There is just so much here I don't know where to begin. Lolololol, omg. Magnets..
The pps is exactly where it should be. Magnets.
"I had a very nice conversation with IR Dan Wong today. I told him that I was pleasantly socked, amazed and so pleased seeing the promotional specials over the Thanksgiving Weekend. He said that it looks like they will be running it for awhile to help build up there subscription base. I suggested to him a few things they must immediately due going into the holiday season to help there marketing campaign. 1st... They should add FREE REGISTRATION and also FREE LOG IN on the site where you sign in. I feel this is Very Important. 2nd.... they should also add on a Gift Cards/ or via email purchase button.... separate from the promotional adds. This will help add addition revenues this month during the holiday season over and above the promotional deals. I feel customers or investors that purchase the the $99 promo now can also spend addition $$$$ for gifts as Stocking Stuffers. I feel that it may take some customers a few months to use up there promo deals. Good way for them to spend $$$ now for gifts. Dan loved the idea and will work on it asap
I like the the one poster that had made up the magnetic signs for his car. I ask Dan if I could get approval to make larger magnetic ones that I can put them on tractor trailers and cabs. I am in the trucking business and have a large fleet of trucks in he NY, NJ, CT areas. Much of my business is picking up Containers off the Shipping Ports and Rail Yard in NJ. I can't tell you how many thousands of truckers are there spending hours waiting for there shipments and all they do is sit and wait streaming movies. Great exposure. Dan liked it as well...
Just helping to get the word out to add subscribers!!!!"
Exhibit 'A' - unsupported, ridiculous information being propagated on the Outerwebz:
"People need to chill out. Why does anyone think the PPS was going to explode on Black Friday? Because people are buying TV's? That's retarted. NTEK/UltraFlix is the real deal. Legitimate stocks don't go ballistic on hype. When year end "audited" Financials get released, that's when the proof will show what a power house we are dealing with. I can't even tell you how many T.V's I saw leaving the shelves this weekend. It was all over the news, all over the internet, all over the ad's in every store that sells electronics. The reality of the power of this shopping season is going to be uncontrollable, pretty much unrealistic when the numbers hit.
I'm telling you, its going to be a sky ride, once legitimate and reliable t.v sales numbers start showing up from retail stores and t.v manufactures start getting released, and the rest of the platforms (Roku, apple, Amazon, OEM TV apps, and live streaming) gets announced, ....hoping on this stock with every penny they have. Mark my words, this PPS is MAJORLY temporary. February is going to be the icing on the cake. Mark this post."
A lot of disgruntled shareholders would like that recording to go public.. Know who they were?
They may not have anticipated the Foley Factor and FoleyCap..
They did try to hide FoleyCap from the public eye however. What does that tell you?
Yeah but what he's describing is a microcosm of the big picture here. He is describing a fraudulent representation of facts (K2 lawsuit anyone?), which ended up in him purchasing shares. Ntek wins, defrauded guy loses.
Same could be said for every shareholder that's invested here for years.
Too bad he doesn't have recorded proof of the fraudulent discussions..
Sorry for you and your friend's losses. NTEK's Investor Relations and Company Communication fails can be summed up as one giant "F.U." Middle Finger towards investors. That's a fact, no way to sugar coat that. Where do we even begin?
Financial doom turns into "pump and hope", rinse wash repeat. It's the ntek ball and chain. Reality and facts become irrelevant. Sad..
I do want to caution those who actually respect factual representations - the truth if you will. It appears that the truth is secondary to selling shares or raising the pps.

Desperate times call for desperate actions especially when brokerage accounts are deep into the red. I would encourage everyone to self verify the FACTS and ignore wild and fantastical speculations.
An example of irresponsible speculation: the dozens upon dozens of posts on the Outerwebz citing Ultraflix.com's Alexa.com ranking. The Facts were irrelevant as wild claims were made, citing an invalid Alexa.com rating. The fixation on a ranking number is totally invalid and inappropriate as per Alexa.com themselves. This is stooping to new lows- almost making things up out of thin air.
Another example: rumors of buyouts with zero evidence except for articles that have nothing to to with ntek themselves making the loose connection that if it happened to 'X' company it could happen to ntek. Worse yet, just stating it simply for no other reason that "hey, it could happen!?".
Would you like more examples?
Just the facts please, whether you like them or not.
Really?! Please let me know which one of my facts are false and we can talk. Just because you don't like the truth, doesn't make the facts false.
Royal Capital Group
Thanks for the reminder of the STAGGERING about of shares that went to the..
"Unrelated and Unaffiliated"..
Royal Capital Group.
The same entity that NTEK went to great lengths to perpetrate as real and great lengths to make disappear from the public eye after the facts came to light. FACT.
Regulators see this stuff as one giant red flag. NTEK went on legal record and filed as if they had no idea who Royal Capital Group was.
But you know, facts are overrated. It's about the future now right? Let's all pretend it never happened, and not ask too many questions..
They probably want to sticky stuff that has stuff like, I don't know, facts and links, accurate depictions of reality, etc
You know, that kind of stuff.
Excellent work here mods. Just the facts please.
Sad that someone might use Ultraflix's alexa.com ranking as evidence of increased web traffic, viewership volume and/or sign-ups.
Totally irresponsible.
ALEXA.com states that given Ultraflix.com's rank, their ranking is...
...NOT-
STATISTICALLY-
MEANINGFUL.
From another board..

"Per Ultraflix support "design team is in early stages of adding surround sound." This is good news, I'm hoping some will be atmos encoded as well."

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ultraflix.com
WHY THIS IS MEANINGLESS:
"Alexa does actually state on their website that ‘traffic rankings of 100,000 and above should be regarded as [very?] rough estimates‘ and that conversely ‘the closer a site gets to #1, the more accurate traffic rankings become‘. Anything higher than this 100,000 waypoint and everyone I’ve ever spoken to on the subject... ... seems to pretty much laugh it off as a metric that can, nine times out of ten, be almost completely ignored."
http://winningwp.com/alexa-traffic-rank/
In alexa.com's own words:
"There are limits to statistics based on the data available. Sites with relatively low measured traffic [ultraflix.com] will not be accurately ranked by Alexa. We do not receive enough data from our sources to make rankings beyond 100,000 statistically meaningful. (However, on the flip side of that, the closer a site gets to #1, the more reliable its rank.) This means that, for example, the difference in traffic between a site ranked 1,000,000 and a site ranked 2,000,000 has low statistical significance. Sites ranked 100,000+ [ultraflix.com] may be subject to large ranking swings due to the scarcity of data for those sites. It is not unusual for such sites to decline to “No data” Traffic Ranks, or to improve suddenly."

Poor website performance = lost revenue, lost customers.
"While all of this is happening, it has never been more important for applications to operate at peak performance. Application users don't care who or what element in the delivery chain may be causing a performance malfunction, whether it's a third-party service, the cloud or the limitations of their device, for example. They just want the application to work, and their performance expectations are increasingly being shaped by industry leaders like Google and Facebook.
According to the Aberdeen Group’s report, “When Seconds Count,” two seconds or less is the threshold most end users are willing to wait for a website or application to load before growing frustrated and abandoning it. The cost of poor performance is huge, both in terms of lost revenues and employee productivity. Even a slight reduction in application performance can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity each quarter."
"Application abandonment: The rate at which frustrated customers abandon applications translates directly into increased costs, lost revenue and a tarnished brand. Consider that the Aberdeen Group found a one-second delay in web page response time decreased conversions by seven percent."
"Lost business and higher costs: When consumers can't conduct business online with a company because of sluggish application response, they will either abandon the session and take their business elsewhere or turn to the help desk. In either case, the business loses money."
http://www.apmdigest.com/how-the-end-user-experience-impacts-your-bottom-line
"More than eight out of ten people regularly delete or uninstall apps because of problems with their performance, while roughly half are less tolerant of problems with apps or websites than they used to be.
When asked what they do when they experience app headaches, 28% of UK smartphone and tablet owners try another app and 23% stop using the app altogether. In addition, nearly two out of five respondents tell their friends and family about the issues."

Why Shoppers Leave Without Paying
"Avoid Registrations
One of the biggest turnoffs in some checkout processes is being forced to register on the website in order to complete the purchase. A study by User Interface Engineering showed a 45% increase in customer purchases when forced registration was removed from the checkout page."
"Website crashed or was too slow.
If you’re hosting your store with Shopify, you’re lucky as this won’t be an issue for you. However, many online retailers host their websites on poor performing servers and as a result their site loads slow and crashes. I experienced this exact problem selling consulting courses on my website. We were hosting with a low-cost (and unfortunately low quality) host that couldn’t handle our traffic load. This was causing a whole bunch of issues. As soon as we switched to a dedicated host not only did our site load faster, our search visibility improved and most importantly, so did our sales, by about 15%."

"Tear down the “sign-in” barrier
Most checkouts start with a potentially jarring question: Are you new here or a returning customer? Don’t remember? Follow this hyperlink.
If your user is a returning customer, you’re asking them to remember which email they registered with and the corresponding password. If your user is a new customer, you’re asking them to decide whether they want to register (i.e., go through a set of additional steps) or checkout as a guest. Each option creates an unnecessary disconnect between the user and their goal – buying the product."
"The best e-commerce websites create an online experience that makes visitors fall in love with their products. The shopping experiences are emotional, guided, and clearly encourage visitors to add a product to their cart.
But once they get to the checkout, something just doesn’t feel right. There’s a break in the experience from cart to checkout, and it causes a disconnect for the customer. It’s this disconnect that leads to the highest level of cart abandonment at the very first step of the checkout. We’re not the only ones who notice it."

No. It's a simple business transaction. You pay 'X' $ and we give you 'X' movies. If ntek goes down in flames, they keep the cash, and continue business as usual.
Don't worry there's at least 40-50'of these guys out there doing Ntek's and Omnivance's job and are educating Best Buy workers in force lol.
Here's how this one goes. Shareholder, "Ultraflix blah blah etc", Best Buy salesman, "oh, thanks, yeah I'll have to check that out"..
Yep they've been "checking it out for over a year know" and are still clueless, what does that tell you?
I'll help: Unless a product manager is given the directive: "learn about Ultraflix and make sure your sales team knows too". NO BB salesperson is going to care.
There are no third party major glowing reviews (i.e. Cnet), no media packets being sent from ntek or Omnivance. No effort being made by Wong to educate the media. It's simple, start with the top ten consumer electronics media outlets and blast them with info. You're welcome.
It's almost like, they're NOT trying..
Lol only .64% of the traffic is from the Samsung app. That's not a lot for the "millions"of Samsung UHD tv's that were sold.
Please keep posting this link lol:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ultraflix.com
Don't forget to scroll all the way to the bottom to view the related links!
That is something. $15-35,000,000.00 (pick a number) garnered from 1,000,000,000 shares in the past year and a company exec is manning the phones at ntek. That is something.
Should we get into the $ that went to RoyalFoleyCap?
You're happy about the fact that essentially the ones who signed up for the Black Friday deals were..
Shareholders.
How do I know this? Because only shareholders would have the patience to deal with the registration errors.
I would be willing to bet you that for every non shareholder that tried to register for Ultraflix this weekend 9 out of 10 of them ended up watching Netflix UHD offerings because it was quick and easy, and they wanted to see their UHD tv shine.
That''s the scenario if Ultraflix was pre installed. If it wasn't, it's even worse, they don't know Ultraflix exists and even if they did, the first thing they did was connect with Netflix before figuring out how to download apps.
As far as losing customers within seconds of a failed registration experience? Don't just take my word for it. I like presenting FACTS, how about you?
"While all of this is happening, it has never been more important for applications to operate at peak performance. Application users don't care who or what element in the delivery chain may be causing a performance malfunction, whether it's a third-party service, the cloud or the limitations of their device, for example. They just want the application to work, and their performance expectations are increasingly being shaped by industry leaders like Google and Facebook.
According to the Aberdeen Group’s report, “When Seconds Count,” two seconds or less is the threshold most end users are willing to wait for a website or application to load before growing frustrated and abandoning it. The cost of poor performance is huge, both in terms of lost revenues and employee productivity. Even a slight reduction in application performance can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity each quarter."
"Application abandonment: The rate at which frustrated customers abandon applications translates directly into increased costs, lost revenue and a tarnished brand. Consider that the Aberdeen Group found a one-second delay in web page response time decreased conversions by seven percent."
"Lost business and higher costs: When consumers can't conduct business online with a company because of sluggish application response, they will either abandon the session and take their business elsewhere or turn to the help desk. In either case, the business loses money."

"More than eight out of ten people regularly delete or uninstall apps because of problems with their performance, while roughly half are less tolerant of problems with apps or websites than they used to be.
When asked what they do when they experience app headaches, 28% of UK smartphone and tablet owners try another app and 23% stop using the app altogether. In addition, nearly two out of five respondents tell their friends and family about the issues."

"The performance of a mobile app or website would impact my perception of a retailer: 73% agree or strongly agree."

Why Shoppers Leave Without Paying
"Avoid Registrations
One of the biggest turnoffs in some checkout processes is being forced to register on the website in order to complete the purchase. A study by User Interface Engineering showed a 45% increase in customer purchases when forced registration was removed from the checkout page."
"Website crashed or was too slow.
If you’re hosting your store with Shopify, you’re lucky as this won’t be an issue for you. However, many online retailers host their websites on poor performing servers and as a result their site loads slow and crashes. I experienced this exact problem selling consulting courses on my website. We were hosting with a low-cost (and unfortunately low quality) host that couldn’t handle our traffic load. This was causing a whole bunch of issues. As soon as we switched to a dedicated host not only did our site load faster, our search visibility improved and most importantly, so did our sales, by about 15%."

"Tear down the “sign-in” barrier
Most checkouts start with a potentially jarring question: Are you new here or a returning customer? Don’t remember? Follow this hyperlink.
If your user is a returning customer, you’re asking them to remember which email they registered with and the corresponding password. If your user is a new customer, you’re asking them to decide whether they want to register (i.e., go through a set of additional steps) or checkout as a guest. Each option creates an unnecessary disconnect between the user and their goal – buying the product."
"The best e-commerce websites create an online experience that makes visitors fall in love with their products. The shopping experiences are emotional, guided, and clearly encourage visitors to add a product to their cart.
But once they get to the checkout, something just doesn’t feel right. There’s a break in the experience from cart to checkout, and it causes a disconnect for the customer. It’s this disconnect that leads to the highest level of cart abandonment at the very first step of the checkout. We’re not the only ones who notice it."

It does seem there was years of experience that led up to Royal Capital Group, which by all accounts, does appear to have been done hastily.
