Well Alj14, if you read my post you would see I quoted you exactly. Conversely, you are stating that I quoted you as saying ""for SunnComm to emerge as the dominant force in" all or most or even many DRM markets" Please show where I quoted you as saying that.
As to the point I was making, I was picking up on your assumption that because Macrovision wasn't in or was weak in a particular market, that didn't imply it was open slather for SunnComm. This is your quote again...
What continues to surprise me is that, considering the total fiasco of First4Internet and the absence or the continuing weakness of MVSN in sectors of interest to us, you fail to realise how little it would take for SunnComm to emerge as the dominant force in various DRM markets.
Where in that statement is your recognition that there are other players out there other than Macrovision and F4I. You simply have no understanding of the who the major players are. As to the "various" unexplored markets where you believe we have a chance of succeeding, I notice you failed to provide examples.
The fact of life is that Microsoft is the major player in most areas of DRM, much to the dismay of content providers. If there is money to be made or an opportunity to extend the influence of Windows Media, then Microsoft will be there too. Yet your quote implied that the absense of Macrovision and F4I would mean it would take little for SunnComm to be the dominant force in these new markets.
and Google as only existing because they struck "lucky" -- which sounds very like classifying them as a freak phenomenon unlikely to stay the course, because no mere "luck" holds for ever.
I guess when you have nothing to counter my arguments, the best thing to do is to make erroneous conclusions on a statement I made and assert that they are my conclusions, then attack them instead of my arguments. You do realize that they are your conclusions, not mine.
The current head-count therefore works out at five
That is one per project, since there are five projects on the boil according to most claims.
You really ought to talk to some people who work in s/w development. Most projects of any size would require just one person to do the documentation, never ming analyzing, programming, debugging, fixing and the myriad of other tasks required to bring a project to fruition. And if the one programmer is writing programs (a very time consuming task) who is it that is tenacious in pursuing research and development along a path where it has no apparent rivals
I suppose all this ground breaking R & D is being done during coffee breaks.
When it became quite clear to everyone that Sony-BMG would not contemplate CD copy protection for the foreseeable future, SunnComm knew that their world had just collapsed. They were a company with a product that they could not sell. It was then that we started hearing about 5 new products, because that was the only way to stop a collapse of the SP. But that in itself was not enough, as it is evident that it would take years to bring new products to market, so we now have the assertions that SunnComm will bring their products to revenue generation in just 6 months. That flies in the face of all business sense.
