So, the Motley Fool is all over delivering video and advertising through mobile networks -- with a focus on Verizon.
This should be very interesting to holders of $MVIS. Motley Fool often makes good calls about large trends. It's also very influential in getting people into stocks (CHECK MM since article below was released) And they're VERY close to discovering MicroVision -- it won't take much.
What this says about the ecosystem for PicoP is also amazing. Verizon is into Mobile video for advertising -- and they're clearly working hard on it. They purchased AOL for its ability to deliver video advertising.
Verizon is also the SONY carrier in the US.
If video advertising is a strong suit for Verizon, Verizon will be able to subsidize the cost of PicoP (the delivery) and the content to consumers. Making mobile video consumption that much more popular.
When the Fax machine arrived on the market it was a hard sell. The idea was interesting, but your Fax machine wasn't any good unless someone else had one too. This is a further illustration that PicoP will arrive into an ecosystem that is already demanding it. PicoP will help sell the other services Verizon wants to sell -- like subscriptions to watch NFL football, and advertising as well.
We're almost there.
To understand why Verizon might buy Millennial, we should discuss its growing interest in advertising.
In a nutshell, Verizon now owns several small advertising businesses which aren't fully integrated with each other. That's where Millennial Media comes in -- its network reaches over 670 million unique users monthly, and it has the potential to deliver ads to over 65,000 apps.
