but leave it up to this board to dangle it's own carrots. We may not be launching in china any time this year anyways. If you do the math, you will see it's been 5 months since they announced an asian launch. If we haven't been able to raise the cash to launch in 1 country in that long, how long do you think it will take to launch in 8 countries? We barely have anything to do with baidu anyways. We heard from the horse's mouth that the baidu deal is just text based. Google qtrax and text based deal and you will see it's all over the internet. Had it not been true, it would have been retracted. It was AK himself who asked the first journalist to post that info to spice it up. And that is why they have put china launch way off on the back burner. If china fails, then it's over. If they actually wanted to launch in china any time soon, they would start with china, and use that success and potential revenue to slowly rollout in the other countries. If you can prove the model to work in one country, it gives you reason to expand. But why waste money launching in countries where the model will not prove profitable? It does not make any sense at all. Expect to be strung along all year. This global rollout is not intended to take over the world, it's intended to delay the inevitable. Like grover t said, it would be nice for them to finally launch somewhere, so at least we can see what kind of a response it gets. But the truth is, even while we had music available in the states for a short period, it did not seem to attract many users. Expect his year to be a mildly improved version of last year. They will always have enough cash to keep going, but never enough to launch. I predict the china launch to be 2 years away. Baidu is in talks with the labels direct and working on their own model. If they thought qtrax was viable, they would be working with them direct, not the labels. And it is obvious the market knows that our text based deal with baidu is of no consequence. That is why we went from .09 to .026 and never got out of the gates. They managed to generate hype and pump the stock to .09 by pretending the baidu deal was significant to us, and that the launch was set in stone. Both turned out to be total BS. Just like this january launch is more BS.
