Andrew, I did read your post on this the other day. You summed up the state of the studio pretty well.
I believe the nail in their coffin will be the new media buyers taking over the status-quo positions. Part of my job is to research new opportunites for new media buys. Once the old regime is out, the studios are going to have to move quickly (pretty much a oxy- moron), and I don't have a lot of faith in post-roll / pre-roll, or even the new google/youtube ad models. I think the statics speak for themselves. Just me two lindens. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Jay dedman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Just the other day I posted what I would consider a pretty relevant > > topic about the changing industry, mentioned I had been working on a > > hypothesis for quite some time and then asked for thoughts but didn't > > get a single response here.
