I also have a particular future in mind for TelVue if they were to take the idea and run with it.

Americans seem obsessed with Reality TV. A SHORT list of popular reality TV shows:

The Bachelor
The Bachelorette
Survivor
Top Chef
Project Runway
Jersey Shore
The Real Housewives of Orange Co./New Jersey/New York/DC/Atlanta
American Idol
Keeping up with the Kardashians

Any of the above has made millions of dollars for their respective networks (ABC, Fox, Bravo, MTV, etc.) and the companies that advertise with them.

Add to this the popularity of on-line websites like YouTube (which has a slogan of "Broadcast Yourself") and you could easily see that anyone, if provided with the tools, could create their own personal TV network.

Imagine a nation of Independent TV Networks broadcast out of people's homes, offices, basements (think Wayne's World) and garages, using TelVue for the broadcasting and accessible by anyone through a $79.00 Roku box.

All that would be required would be TelVue coming up with an inexpensive home digital broadcast server and anyone with a digital video camera could create their own shows for syndication or even their own independent network.

In a nation that spends huge amounts of time watching TV and sitting at a computer this could be quite the sensation.
