Ben Well I don't have any starting capital ($1,000-10,000 per participant.) Anything more then that requires a business loan or venture capital. If that's what your looking for. It's not that I wouldn't work to generate some starting capital, but I would have to be convinced that there was a market. For a business loan you would have to be convinced and for venture capital you would have to convince someone else.
What distinguishes this from TIVO? In this market it would have to be price. I would assume that you would start with a demo system and see what kind of interest you could generate. I think I fall back to my original statement. After you make the rounds...I'll still be interested.
