You'd think the barriers to entry would be higher than those of the Internet business but apparently not - everyone has a supplier in China, right? The more we let people like this "sniff" around, the harder it's going to be for the real players to make gains. I guess we just wait for consolidation, right? I don't think so! The play needs to have a lot more more value. I'm still interested that there isn't a "company" that is setting up as "consultants" in this space....Be everyone's best friend and make objective recommendations for the situations instead of the individual products. Like you said about the blog thing Dave, everyone seems to be hawking something...objectivity is key. Unfortunately, they’re doing a huge disservice to the industry.

And the first thing they're doing is looking for gear. Ay caramba!! I continue to be disturbed by the number of people sniffing around this space who don’t have much of an idea beyond:
1 – “I want to put screens …”
2 – “here …”
3 – “and I’ll sell advertising time on them.”

And the first thing they’re doing is looking for gear.

Ay caramba!!
