we announced two products that are
essentially forming in the first layers
of the stack for broadband access to the
consumer which is basically an end
device inside their home which is a
Wi-Fi station which has IOT
functionality and other things as well
built in and at set of technologies that
we're going to be rolling out in beta
starting the summer for providing direct
to consumer broadband access wireless
broadband access for anybody that might
want it hopefully even it's gonna go
national is that right that's the goal
it's gonna be a long process to build it
out and you know Metro Metro City the
city kind of thing but yeah that's sort
of the big idea is that it's a
competitive alternative to wire
broadband what's your expectation that
star e is actually going to be able to
move the needle in these meet in these
big markets with huge incumbent players
I think you know we'll have to see it
right a lot of that is gonna be how well
we execute it's a ton of work so I think
whether we make a dent or not at the end
of the day is gonna be a function of
whether we can deliver the product more
effectively one of the things that I
think is interesting about your previous
company Aereo is that unfortunately it
did eventually get shut down after going
to the US Supreme Court is it the type
of situation with star e because you're
going up against so many major
incumbents there's a lot of money
involved in this market hopefully
there's no ticking time bomb in this
particular business model right I mean
this is something this terrible yeah
there's no legal issue right so it's a
lot of it is execution in technology I
don't think there's a single person
inside of the establishment that says
there's sufficient competition
