But here are some of the issues that come to mind. Who is in control of dispersing the data. (Like Cable TV companies and cable channel producers), will they impose a set of guidelines, rules or restrictions on how much money and to whom. Or like Pay per view. Will there be a minimum amount regardless of how much benefit, if any, that is derived. Ultimately, relying on the largesse of a consumer, is I think courting disaster. I think publishing houses will abound, who will directly or indirectly influence the nature and cost of data/ instructions dispersed to the consumer. These publishing houses, having the technical expertise would be able to work with cash advances to developers/ development groups showing promise and desire to work within certain areas. So, a penny for your thoughts ? I don't think so. A reply maybe. Srinivasan Sriram.
