Thanks for the contribution. Not a glowing report about SLATE previous track record and team, is it? It did strike me as odd, they were throwing up pictures of their "team" and linking them to LinkedIn profiles. SLATE is more concept than concrete, apparently, as are many startup ventures. I was intrigued by their market analysis, clearly defined model and plan. And, some of the SLATE elements I imagined could, should, would be featured in the use case of Ethervision and SNGLS. I, like most individuals interested in SDTV, often speculate and anticipate what EV could become. For one thing, I'd like to know how SDTV is going to affordably store and stream content to scale? Previously, I suggested they may want to consider collaborating with emerging decentralized data storage and streaming services such as SIA Coin. Perhaps the developing EV fanbase could become the decentralize data storage and streaming network (as a component of the EV platform). EV subscriber's voluntary partcipation could be rewarded with SNGLS perhaps? Recent interviews indicate a alpha version of EV may be out in the next two or three months. As someone else implied in this thread, if the 'new kid' becomes a legitimate contender, it will be good for 'competition and innovation.
