Tivus, Inc. (TIVU)

Regarding a TIVU/LNET merger, blahdude said "From TIVU's perspective, I think it would be nice for shareholders but IMO disastrous for the technology in the long run. I have very little faith in LNET in development and support. Also, like I said before, LNET leaves a bad taste in many people's mouths in the hospitality industry."

I agree 100%. My background is in networking, I have worked with LNET support directly as a provider and as consumer, so I know that they leave much to be desired. I'm hoping they become partners instead of merging. TIVU's hardware with a single satellite feed into groups of local hotels that LNET has would be cost effective for both companies. For the consumer it would be the equivalent of going from B&W to HD color TV in a single leap.


blahdude also said "I'm rooting for TIVU to succeed like Apple today but only time will tell."

I hope you are right. Those who had bought Apple shares back in late 1997 are sitting on $1M for every $6K they had invested.

People often forget that Apple almost went under (as in bankrupt) a little more than a decade ago. It just goes to show how successful the right technology at the right time can be.
