Or for a more colorful analogy, they blew their wad on marketing and when it
came time to perform they were all hype and nothing but empty chambers in
the barrel :-)

Sure. Started by a bunch of NYC broadcast industry moguls. They made the
rounds of all the trade shows last year bragging about their ability to
deliver one million simultaneous streams. They had HUGE displays at NATPE,
NAB, SMW, SME, etc. Had good chow in the booths too! So far as anyone can
tell they never had any customers, never made any money and went down the
tubes without any fanfare. One of last years best flashes-in-the-pan.
