Now a company called area who is streaming live TV high definition by the way to apple mobile devices -- iPhone and iPad.
It wants to expand the -- -- -- all the devices could this be a game changer for the way we watch television should cable providers be worried.
Joining us now -- Jon Friedman's -- Hamas which -- welcome back.
You know I said I think in my opinion this is a breakthrough.
Because it uses old fashioned antenna.
Technology.
And it bypasses the cable company is that it maturity as they at least it seems like watch anywhere on -- hand held device anywhere any time.
How about got it wrong though -- I'm always -- of things that too good to be true too fast right now because sometimes the technology.
Is it was isn't we think it's gonna be ordered does that fulfill the promise -- always bit little bit.
Let's you know let's look at -- a natural skeptic I -- but what do you think he's wrong with area.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Broadcast will probably broadcast but if they had granted that they'll they'll build the channels they have with the goods they'll find that your -- second way to say that's important -- you mean you can only get broadcast.
Channel at this point I think that that's all the service is able to offer just broadcast genocide cable channels like this one you don't get -- standing up over the -- quickly -- that I broadcast but also I think the very -- answer right -- you know.
Do they have -- some kind of strong patent on this I mean this seems like something to be quite honest with it.
That might not be hard for others that I don't know interest and you mostly because -- -- point out I I wanted to.
We've shown a wanna be proven that this is really really the -- and we -- Facebook's IPO all the hype about that kept hype about this type that -- -- the word nowadays technology is all about -- -- would be convinced this is for real has left in power.
So the question is is the reception really good.
Could you at some point get other.
Maybe cable channels to broadcast over the and wait for you could pick it up -- -- -- tennis as there's a big case they gifts.
And again I'm in -- bid dead -- I wanna be convinced I I'm.
Of the FaceBook -- generation now with eyes on the -- -- IPO.
Flop and I wanna be convinced that if the coming down the pike is for real okay one last subject for you -- for it.
Because the book now and that's that's about Bob -- yes what is a man who works for MarketWatch new studies media company is doing putting out a book on.
Bob Dylan thank you call forget about today and it is doing as it as a minister reinvention and longevity not this song writing and singing but.
This is -- man was -- he's -- life lessons.
He's been 71 years old that -- fifty years in the business is the -- storm is lot to offer people.
