I am as skeptical as you are Rollingthunder. Being an employee, of course I hope it works. If they are allied with 'one world' I can see it going as there is a definite void there since the demise of CDN. If they have an agreement to pick up the feeds as they come in, then yes, I can see it working. They did not come right out and say that they were allied with one world so I am skeptical.
Richard Branson keeps popping into my mind, and they keep referring to him. We all know how the lawsuits turned out between him and BA. Who knows?! We shall see.
Flygirl, I don't think there is anything going on between C3 and SSV, haven't heard any rumours to that effect anyway. Great to hear from you.
