> "Improve compression technology X so that live video is technically feasible sooner than expected"...now that's a great idea.
That's exactly what I did. But technology by itself does not make money, it needs packaging and marketing.
So such an idea is deceptively simple and it is the packaging of that idea in some concept that makes it valuable. Think of it as everybody in the world saying 'x' is impossible, and then you prove 'x' is indeed possible, and once that's proven there are many ways of capturing the value of that idea. Giving people the opportunity to be broadcasters was my way of trying to capture that value.
Great ideas and good ideas differ usually only by hindsight.
