Ummm.. what should we critique here first?

o Lack of successful penetration of all video conferencing products over the last 25 years. o Lack of any credible plan to deliver sufficient bandwidth to sup- port video to mobile phones. o Lack of sufficiently miniaturized ICs to support mobile telephony and video in a single handset. (ICs = Integrated Circuits).

Sounds like a perfect IPO!
