 SO, technology *can* create a significant revenue source, if properly
 implemented.

 Microsoft
 Linux
 A "personal" computer at all.
 Cell phones.
 Automobiles.

 AM Stereo !
 "New" coke.
 The Edsel.
 "Green" energy.
 An RJ-45 in a refrigerator, as envisioned by Mr. Gates.

 I predict.....
 HD Radio will fail hopelessly.
 Net streaming will be ( when government gets out of the way )
 a resounding success.
 Conventional radio and TV will go the way of the horse and buggy,
 although we will have network connected appliances that look and 
 act much the same as conventional radio and TV.
