dkgross....I read between the lines and if you read the NTI website you will see the economics of the decision to join NTI...NTI is a major distributor of PBS program content....they have studios/satellites all over the US... content is shipped to them from their clients and they put it up to satellite for them....please read the site and then comment back to me. I've followed QBID very closely for 3 1/2 years...it's not a flipper for me. If they pull it off I'm going to be one happy camper because I saw the opportunity when it was first presented to me as a possibility and I understand the nature of business very well (having come from a major corporation and top level exposure to how products get developed and distributed)...so this PR translates to me no different than what I'm used to. If you have the opportunity and desire...here is the NTI website...
and I point to the last tab on left...NTI Service Speed book...and then to the sections:
Studio locations Satellite locations Uplink locations Engineer Field and Crew Technicians
When you watch Larry King Live those folks in the panel are located in their respective locations, Boston, etc....they are in fact sharing/leasing space from uplink opportunities to join Larry King panel..etc. This is the same concept IMO.
