Wake up! If you don’t realize that you can make a difference in this post 9/11/2001 world – you’ve missed the train.

Reading this means you know how to access a web page. You can go a lot farther and make a difference in this world.

Tune into online networks. They are the largest communication fabric society has ever known and contain friends, family, help, questions and answers to all the mysteries that plague you. Don’t have any mysteries? Great for you- now share your pearls with all of us slugs that need help.

I don’t care if you are Bill Gates! You didn’t do it alone and you’ll never be able to repay all those who bought your products and suffered through you figuring out how to deliver on past promises. Actually, if you’re reading this Bill – I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing all you’ve done and what you will do in the future. I just hope you are content – because you at least deserve that. For the rest of us, we still need to make this online computer landscape work.

That’s what the iBA is about. Making the online environments work for the people that visit them. After six years of heavy investment, several failed and successful projects, personal journeys we won’t elaborate upon in this session – the iBA is fighting mad and ready to carve out some high quality online real estate.

Let’s call it “Online Meadows” because a title like that will be forgotten five clicks after you leave this page. But for the moment it is entertaining and hopefully will lodge a seed of imagination in you that will spark later inventions.

Here in Online Meadows, residents turn their 3.8Mhz sports cruisers into pit stops for regular refreshment, alignment and social gatherings. There is the group that shares music, personal lists and bulletins, then those who exchange dollars for everything you can imagine.

Each condo comes complete with a TiVo like DVR system that not only records and stores all your media moments – but allows you to edit them, re-broadcast them, even sell them to tourists and passerby’s. It is an exclusive club here in the Meadows – but we aren’t too careful at the admissions desk. Anyway, as long as you pay your connectivity bills and aren’t caught spamming or scheming your neighbors, you can remain here relatively unbothered.

What am I talking about? I’m talking about your role in Internet Broadcasting.

Oh! You’re the President of a large television station group. I guess that used to mean something. Here in the Meadows, you might fit into the “had a chance – but fell asleep at the wheel” group. Yeah. At last count there were a few hundred thousand living over in the condo section that fit that description.

No one is blaming you for missing the revolution. In fact most of us involved in the revolution don’t think of you at all. Why should we. Your Glory Days happened before most of us were born. And if you think you are in your Glory Days now – that is just testimony that you’ve also missed the train we are on. Age doesn’t really have anything to do with it. It is knowledge, wisdom, and practicality (the cousin of desperation) that drives the Internet Broadcasting Network universe. The young players will not accept being shut out of any existing network jam. The older sages understand the game and know how to pace their race(s).

Sorry, it is a black and white page.

You either get it and run with it – or you click beyond and buy a web page template from your bother-in-law.

Don’t pass Internet Broadcasting Network platforms by. They are the communication and transaction vehicle of the present – with a growth (future) ramp up. Perhaps they contain your future.
