It is about time they launch a trial. They have been so slow getting their act together, I am afraid a largr software firm will be able to improve on their concept and beat them to the punch. I also think the concept is to intrusive to ever reach critical mass. I have been hearing about this company and their new technology for close to 8 years. It is about time they launch a trial.

If Backchannelmedia fails (which it should not) then someone else will succeed as this is truly the wave of the future. As you point out, we viewers all sit with our "gun" in hand ready to click. This will be as simple as changing the channel or raising the sound. Being very familiar with the Backchannelmedia “model”, I must commend you on your accurate and easy to understand explanation.
