Slyestjester...its not about "advertising dollars"...its about subscription and or use fees with both DSNY and SPIHF.
DSNY's "users" are the "Content Providers" who wish to TRANSMIT their content via cloud from the browser to all devices (mobile or desktop or HDTV) without consideration of players (which it bypasses). They will transcode their content into G2 format once and ALL USERS of the Content will get streaming from the cloud without the need for RETAIL CONSUMER to "buy" an application to do so. It is the content provider's cost, and the content provider pays DSNY. It is potentially Universal Access (limited by the content provider) to content once transcoded...think NFLX, GOOG(youtube), AAPL, FB etc. think Streaming videos / streaming advertising.
SPIHF...the "user" of Glassware is the individual consumer who must buy (lease per subscription) to use the Glassware platform. The program they download on their mobile device gives them same functionality to manipulate the content (if they are also subscribers to the cloud program/content) as they would have on desktop access to cloud programs. The Consumer pays for the platform and downloads it onto its mobile device. Therefor it is "limited" access to only those who are subscribers to Glassware AND subscribers (either individually or via their company) to the Content (program they wish to operate in the cloud)....The consumer (or consumer's company) pays for it (vs. DSNY where Content Provider is paying for platform (G2)use giving consumer access to content in the cloud). ...more SAAS, think programs with data to manipulate in the cloud from mobile device. CRM/ORACLE/CA etc. Apparently video use also...but ONLY TO THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBE to GLASSWARE...(vs. DSNY CONTENT AVAILABLE TO ALL DEVICES once Content is formatted, but must be a subscriber to the content provider e.g. Netflix.)
SPIHF..."mimics" what DSNY can do for video streaming...if you are a subscriber to Glassware,without all the functionality of DSNY.
DSNY is infinitely more robust and universal once video content is transcoded; the full universal solution for video. DSNY has nothing to do with "program" manipulation on the cloud by a consumer from the mobile device. That is SPIHF's forte.
ps. Expect to be at conference on 26th. Do not expect to learn more than above, except timing of launch imho. There may be hints of "demand" (i hope)
