Wildman--You write: "Barge, the landscape is littered with failed game consoles. 3DO, Sega Dreamcast, and Atari Jaguar are some of the recent failures. At present, the big 3 are Sony Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo".
Which of the above consoles use Trusted Platform Modules? None. Phantom does! Do you think that is a significant differentiator? I do.
Which of the above consoles are capable of Interoperable Security protocols? None. Phantom is Interoperable. Do you think that is a significant differentiator? I do.
Which of the above consoles have a business model that makes possible "rent to own", "preview before renting/purcahsing". None. Phantom's business model is rental/metered based. Do you think that is a significant differentiator? I do.
You write: "Getting a new model that only works on broadband, immediately cuts their potential audience by 80%, assuming there is about 20% broadband adoption in 2004. "
Your point does not negate the obvious fact that 20% still represents a large and growing subscription population. And I might add that TvTonic can only be accessed by broadband. Despite that drawback TvTonic still garnered over 40 million dollars for Howard Dean in a matter of a few short months.
The bottom line is this: Phantom's use of TPMs and an Interoperable Platform points directly at WAVE. Without WAVE, how does Phantom achieve Interoperability? They don't!!
