Disruption Ahead For Video

In the February issue of How To Find Big Stocks, we highlighted a company that had the potential to disrupt any entity that either plays a video ON or THRU the Net.

 Yesterday they followed through on that potential and announced the successful testing of cross platform streaming video prototype:

other solutions require video files to be transcoded into a variety of formats and require different streaming servers to host each version of the video.

  When a visitor reaches the site, the web server must detect the type of smart phone or operating system, then direct them to the corresponding streaming server and the corresponding file. These streaming servers are often outsourced off site to third party providers at great cost.  Each of those servers needs to be maintained, licenses have to be purchased and patent fees have to be paid.

 Although the process is seamless to the site visitor, behind the scenes, the digital alchemy is expected to cost the industry up to $1.6 billion annually by 2014 according to a 2007 report by Frost and Sullivan

"Do Not Track" Should Be "Do Not Read" Too

President Obama and many others are missing the big picture when it comes to privacy. It's more than tracking you when you surf the Net.

The content sent in email or Facebook messages contains far more personal info than your surfing. Yet nobody seems to have a problem that the info in messages can, and is being used to target ads.

Do Not Track should include Do Not Read as well.

When you use a service like Facebook or Gmail the content on or in their service belongs to them, not you.

Take a look at your emails or Facebook messages and ask yourself if you want an advertiser to be reading them..they already are.

Last week a father attacked Target for sending his teenage daughter baby furniture coupons. Target used the girl's credit card info to determine she was pregnant.

Ovum reported that the cell industry lost billions of dollars in revenue due to social messaging applications.

Here's a double whammy soon to be released. A social messaging app that does not share in ANY way the content in the messages. In fact the content can be erased on command.

Cell providers will still continue to lose revenue from limited SMS and services like Facebook will not be able to sell the data in those messages to advertisers. This is definitely a game changer.

Obama promises privacy legislation.
The Obama administration plans to work with Congress to enact legislation to protect peoples' online privacy based on a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights being unveiled tomorrow.

At the same time, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL are committing to work with Do Not Track technology in most major Web browsers so people can stop companies from tracking them as they bounce around the Internet, the administration said in a statement. 

 Web firms agree to support "Do Not Track"

The new do-not-track button isn't going to stop all Web tracking. The companies have agreed to stop using the data about people's Web browsing habits to customize ads, and have agreed not to use the data for employment, credit, health-care or insurance purposes. But the data can still be used for some purposes such as "market research" and "product development" and can still be obtained by law enforcement officers.

The do-not-track button also wouldn't block companies such as Facebook Inc. from tracking their members through "Like" buttons and other functions

This month is our newsletter, we highlight patented technology,  that eliminates ANY 3rd party from seeing ANY of the content you share with other users over the Net.

Privacy is a wave we highlighted in our book, How To Find Big Stocks. We found (using the tool in the book) several companies with a competitive advantage in this wave.

The "Spectrum Crunch" And A Powerball Lottery Stock Pick

This week CNN Money is running a series titled "The Spectrum Crunch". Essentially it discusses the cellphone capacity crunch.  (How timely for us when we just highlighted a pure play on this problem).

"Wireless operators have to decide whether they spend money acquiring new spectrum or building tens of thousands of new cell sites all over the country," says Dan Hays, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers' consultancy. "That's the big dilemma."

 What we saw years ago is now being discovered by mainstream media, but you have the chance to participate.

We discovered a company which we called the "Wireless Wonder". Their patent Patent # 6,680,923 titled "Communication system and method which covers the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points such as cellular towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, WCMDA etc) and short range Internet access points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc.) has the ability to be a 100 bagger investment.

One of the most respected analysts interviewed in the CNN article, happened to be at this company's latest shareholder meeting acknowledging how valuable the space and patent could be.

A Delaware court determined that management wasn't capable of running the company and designated a receiver to liquidate the company (basically sell the patent).

We are calling this company a Powerball Lottery Ticket in our latest newsletter. They company is currently valued at $4m. Technology experts have said the patent could be worth between $100m to $1B.

 It is probably one of riskiest crapshoots you will find, but you go into it with the same attitude as the lottery.."what if?".

We think the stock gets halted for trading soon because the judge basically said, liquidate this company. 

The How To Find Big Stocks Newsletter summarizes what this company has and why it could be like winning the Powerball.

The How To Find Big Stocks Newsletter Launches

In the book How To Find Big Stocks, we show how to spot trends and the companies that will be big in them.

We received plenty of emails asking what stocks we liked so the obvious thing to do was share what waves we are following and highlight companies in them with a newsletter. How To Find Big Stocks Newsletter

The newsletter ($14.99/month) identifies breakthrough technologies, investing trends and the companies with a competitive advantage in them. (this is the same info we share with some of the top hedge funds)

Last month we highlighted 3 companies, 1 is still up 200% and another is up 50%. Not bad for the first month. These are companies completely hidden from Wall St. (we are not compensated by ANY companies we highlight)

This month we highlight 2 companies:

1. Is probably the most disruptive company we have seen in a long time. Disrupts SEVERAL industries with 2 types of technology

2. Is what I call a Powerball Play. One of those plays that is so big and so risky you have to throw a couple dollars at it.

If you liked the book, you will love the newsletter.

Justice Department To Beef Up IP Enforcement Team

Digital rights, an investing wave we are following closely, is about to get more help from the U.S. Govt.

We identified a company with the competitive advantage in this huge wave.

From Reuters : Justice Dept  boosts agents to tackle copyright infringement and counterfeiting

 The Obama administration on Monday proposed hiring more prosecutors to pursue intellectual property crimes in the new budget as the entertainment industry pressures the Justice Department to crack down on copyright infringement and counterfeiting.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole told reporters. "We think this is an area that really needs some focus and some efforts and increases in the future."

We see this being a much bigger issue than theft of movies and music....


Now imagine if you had the technology (and patents) that could "track back source of any pirated content" AND "lock content so it will only play on the authorized device"

This company is so trusted, nearly EVERY record label has implemented their patented technology. This same technology can be used for EVERY type of digital content and is still hidden from Wall St.


We discovered this company using the tool in the book How To Find Big Stocks

If At First You Don't Sell Your Patent Portfolio...

InterDigital failed to sell its patent portfolio, so it has started to looking to emerging wireless bands to boost its technology research.

I have talked at length about the opportunity in white space.

(a new keyword to watch)
 a system to extend Wi-Fi into new bands using a technology called Integrated Dynamic Spectrum Management (IDSM), which harvests vacant frequencies to increase the data throughput of WLans by identifying uncongested channels. (source RethinkWireless)

Although it was tapping into the interest in white spaces, IDSM can work across many contiguous and non-contiguous frequencies, licensed or unlicensed.

Just another reason why the ability to switch across frequencies seamlessly, and the patent for it, will be so valuable in the future.

The "Oil" Of the Digital Age

Privacy is one of the investing trends I have said to watch.

In my book (How To Find Big Stocks), I devote an entire chapter to why privacy (and companies that protect it) will offer some exciting investing opportunities.

Every email, text, picture, Facebook (post/comment/picture) that is transmitted when "send" is hit..is stored on a server.

 The average user has 736 pieces of this personal data collected every day, and different service providers retain this information for anywhere between 12 and 60 months.


While that might not make a difference today, it might in the future.


"personal data is the oil of the digital age". 

From NY Times 
Start-Ups Seek to Help Users Put a Price on Their Personal Data

 People have been willing to give away their data while the companies make money. But there is some momentum for the idea that personal data could function as a kind of online currency, to be cashed in directly or exchanged for other items of value.

Google's Drive Threatens Dropbox

For a stock to be a Big Stock,  it MUST have a competitive advantage.

I call these companies "Me toos". If any company can enter a space this easily, you don't have a competitive advantage.

There are other companies that have a competitive advantage in the cloud computing wave, find out how to spot them (How To Find Big Stocks)


From Wall St Journal Google Near Launch of Cloud Service 

The Google service, which is expected to launch in the coming weeks or months, will be free for most consumers and businesses
Like Dropbox, Google's storage service, called Drive, is a response to the growth of Internet-connected mobile devices like smartphones and tablets and the rise of "cloud computing," or storing files online so that they can be retrieved from multiple devices, these people said

Drive allows people to store photos, documents and videos on Google's servers so that they could be accessible from any Web-connected device and allows them to easily share the files with others, these people said. If a person wants to email a video shot from a smartphone, for instance, he can upload it to the Web through the Drive mobile app and email people a link to the video rather than a bulky file.

I Took Her Breath Away Twice

A Triathlete Races For Love

                                book website

"Every girl dreams about how she will be proposed to and her wedding day. I took her breath away twice and gave her a story that is a special as she is."

A long distance triathlete (140.6 miles) overcomes life's obstacles to plan a surprise marriage proposal and wedding day for his special girl.

For eight years I have traveled the world competing in various IronMan triathlon races. Through this sport, I have learned how to approach the obstacles life throws at you.

I was lucky to have my soul mate with me through the roughest times (both on the race course and in life).

For the past year, I planned on surprising Pnut with a proposal and marriage at two locations that would allow ALL members of our families (both living and deceased) to commemorate this special journey.

Both IronMan Germany (European World Championship) and the 70.3 World Championship in Vegas were the locations where I took my soul mate's breath away twice.

 (excerpt from the book)

I only told a handful of people that we would be getting married that day. Some may say it was a private wedding.

I like to think we shared this special day with 1600 of our closest friends, namely some of the best athletes in the world and their special needs partners. We all know what it’s like to overcome obstacles in life just by focusing on the next mile marker.

Reader Testimonials:

Readers have said this about this love story:

"Probably the most romantic thing I have ever read"

"He has single handedly brought chivalry back"

"It’s easy to feel the love they share for each other"

"I am in tears..what a love story"

"No gown, tuxedo or hoopla..just two happy newlyweds"

The Catalyst For The Next Generation Of Wealth

On January 25, 2012 there was an announcement that I consider a "rupt", or the tipping point for a wave to start to break. This wave is considered to be the largest wealth generator in our lifetime.

It will create more millionaires than the Internet.

The key to making money with a big investing trend is to find the companies with a competitive advantage in the. I call these companies. Big Stocks. They are net worth changers.

There are certain things I look for in determining who has the competitive advantage in a wave. I give you the same tool I use every day in my book.

Ericsson's Buy of BelAir Heats Up Hypernet or WiFi 2.0

From GigaOm Ericcson bets on WiFi
WiFi Offload is at the core of BelAir buy (Fierce Wireless)

Wi-Fi is getting attention from the traditional mobile industry as carriers may look to relieve network congestion and mobile users may look to avoid data usage caps

Hotspot 2.0 or The Hypernet is an investing trend I have discussed several times.

an industry initiative that will use 802.11u to provide seamless automatic Wi-Fi authentication and handoff, allowing mobile users to roam between the networks without additional authentication 
 

Roger McNamee, one of the most successful venture capitalists, defines the next wave for the Internet which he calls the "Hypernet and Hyperweb"


The deal could signal a big shift in the mindset of the big wireless vendors, which have always favored their own specialized and expensive cellular technologies to meet growing mobile data demand rather than more generic but much cheaper Wi-Fi tech.




Gartner's Akshay Sharma made this prediction for Hotspot 2.0:

" Hotspot 2.0 with FMC will be the dominant (over 50%) approach for carriers to achieve carrier grade 4G offload by 2015"

 The ability for any device to switch between cell tower and wi-fi (without user having to do anything) is the next big thing for mobile...call it WiFi 2.0 or the "Hypernet".

I put together a summary of this technology/company  that has the key patent for Hotspot 2.0 and which we consider a VERY RISKY "100 Bagger" opportunity.
(this company has the patents that are required to make this happen and is currently in settlement negotiations with TMobile)

Watch This Trend

Convenience comes with a price. I see a major trend (privacy) coming. The days of "I am off the grid" are getting close.

There will be a service or technology that enables people to surf, communicate without being tracked. I see people PAYING to do these activities knowing they won't be tracked.

People will pay to use email, communicate with friends on a social network and surf knowing their information and Internet activity isn't being recorded.

Interesting story on what tech trends lawyers need to keep an eye on.

I found 2 of particular interest:

Mobile payments and behavioral advertising.

When you start swiping your cell phone to pay for items your sensitive information is being sent over a wireless connection.

Google's recent no opt-out policy eliminates the anonymous Internet. Every click you make will be filled with an ad based on ALL of your information used/stored with Google.

 for Android users, there’s never really an option to be logged out, so everything you do, Google can now track, from searches to direction requests to videos watched

As soon as IPv6 is implemented, every device will have its own IP address, so the days of an anonymous Internet are really over.

Piracy In The Future

 As digital content gets easier to produce and distribute, managing it will be a huge industry to watch.

It isn't just about sharing music, it's much bigger.

BigThink has a great story about where privacy is headed.

the future of digital downloading will move quickly beyond music, movies and software into the copying and reproduction of physical objects

While the entertainment industry represents a lot of money, it is nothing compared to the world's manufacturing base, i.e. most of the world's economy

In my book (How To Find Big Stocks), I discuss waves like 3D printing and digital rights. Orion Jones gives us an idea what happens when these two waves meet (and they will).

There is technology now, that allows any digital content owner (this includes 3D printers) to "lock" a piece of digital content to a specified device AND track the content on the Net for illegal reproduction and distribution.

The ease of production and distribution (and duplication) has created a conundrum for digital content owners. I discuss this wave as one to watch in my book.

Roche Buys Illumina For $5.7B Huge Consequences For Personalized Medicine

Roche is the world's largest maker of cancer drugs acquires gene sequencing company Illumina for $5.7B.


Roche is already the world's largest maker of cancer drugs, where gene analysis is progressing fastest, as well as a major maker of diagnostic tests.

Several cancer drugs are coming off patent AND gene therapy threatens this industry.

What would be the best (and cheapest) way to continue to generate revenue from your drug that is now off patent?....hint, by licensing the patented method for delivering the generic version.  (this method was called the biggest breakthrough invention for treating cancer)

(read how it works)

Look for a smart company to buy GENE, use their non-coding (junk DNA) patents (as well as Perlegen IP) to generate cash flow while they look to get paid every time a cancer drug is administered.(they own 70% of this cancer breakthrough technology)

There's a reason many are calling this the "next investing boom"

Here is an excerpt from the book How To Find Big Stocks It discusses the companies and technologies to look for in this upcoming wave.

I consider this wave the biggest “problem solver” ever that will affect every person in the world, rich or poor. It will create and destroy multi-billion dollar companies.

The 30,000 "switches" in your body (genes) or the "software of life", represent the next investing boom.

With the Internet boom, the first movers were the chip companies, PC manufacturers, and Internet providers. They provided the infrastructure to make it happen. It was people selling maps, picks and shovels that made the fortunes during the gold rush boom.

With the personalized medicine boom, the first movers will be (and already are) the companies that: provide access to the human genome (DNA), the testing kit manufacturers, DNA analysis technology, and the testing companies themselves.
 

The amount of money that will be spent by various industries and people, to live longer and better will be in the trillions.

Privacy..An Investing Wave To Watch

Privacy is one of the investing trends I suggest keeping an eye on. It is also an investing wave I highlight in my upcoming book.

A recent ruling now means Americans can be forced to decrypt their laptops.

Blackburn, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that the Fifth Amendment posed no barrier to his decryption order. The Fifth Amendment says that nobody may be "compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself," which has become known as the right to avoid self-incrimination.

He said the All Writs Act, which dates back to 1789 and has been used to require telephone companies to aid in surveillance, could be invoked in forcing decryption of hard drives as well. 


A new app for the phone is coming that allows communication over the Net without any trace being left on any server. Privacy on the Net..think of the possibilities.

How To Save Flickr

On their blog, Flickr announced they will be making some changes in 2012.

In the coming weeks and months you will see significant updates to Flickr’s user experience, new features and offerings across devices. Our goal is to build a gorgeous, intuitive, and truly beautiful experience for you, your friends and your photos.

Here's my idea.
Have you ever noticed, there are no ads on Flickr.



When you upload your photos to Flickr, you are giving them content and traffic.

Why can't Flickr place ads along the sides of your pictures and you get a cut of the ad revenue? Picture it being like an adsense account for Flickr?

Get paid for your content AND Flickr generates ad revenue too.

Thoughts?

Where Will Big Money Be Made Next?

 

 

Here is a list of waves I am following. I am currently writing a book that elaborates on each wave and what companies/technologies could have the competitive advantage in them. The Big Stockular in my book (How To Find Big Stocks) will help you find what companies they are.

 

 

 

Big Data (creation of it, storage, and digital rights)

Privacy (social networking has made it easy to publish things that are being used against you  and you will regret later)

Genomics/Personalized Medicine..a bigger wave than the Net. Net makes everything more efficient and saves time, PM saves lives

Intellectual Property..the US's new raw asset..we aint manuf any more and everything has turned to digital..IP is going to be key

Telematics/ M2M..controlling a device thru the Net

Speech recognition/motion technology...typing is becoming outdated

Wifi 2.0/ Hypernet...more data more devices means different ways of transferring it

Connected cars and homes...every car will be Net enabled and controlled..appliances in home will be too

Cloud computing...pc is getting dumber. Storage and processing of all digital content takes place on the Net, not thru the Net

TV Commerce/Interactive TV...big screen offers big opportunity

Cyber Security..the new form of terrorism

3D Printing...brings manuf back to the US

Mobile commerce/Location Based Services..the mouse that leaves the house offers dynamic opportunities to many

Physical world connection..a barcode, RFID tag, image et al is the physical world hyperlink that links a camera phone/tablet to the Net

Acacia Takes A Stake In 4G

Patents are the new raw material.

Acacia Research announces they are buying 4G technology developer Adaptix for $160m.

"With patents filed as early as 2000, Adaptix's research and development efforts have resulted in one of the world's most significant intellectual property portfolios focused on 4G technologies," Acacia said in a statement.

Might be why Oberweis made Acacia one of their best stocks to own in 2012.

In my book, How To Find Big Stocks, I discuss how intellectual property is the new "raw material" for the U.S. economy and the Internet is the new manufacturing and distribution system.

TV Is The Next Digital Land Grab

The investing wave of TV Commerce/Internet TV is one to start watching.

integrating voice and motion control into its new sets, enabling users to speak commands to their TVs or change channels and other settings with just a wave.
(this is just one example of how it will disrupt)

The television represents another computing device and display for commerce. The ability to click on an image, be directed to a website and purchase it, is another investing trend to watch.

The TV will turn into another ecommerce platform and when YouTube allows 30 minute videos it will compete directly with TV viewing.

Dynamic ads placed in reruns, hyperlinks embedded in shows, the eyeballs shift BACK to the TV.

iPad with voice recognition turns into your remote control (for your TV and appliances in the home).

The Catalyst For The Genomics Wave Boom?

We all know what happened when the personal computer became affordable to the masses, it triggered one of the biggest creations of wealth in our life time.

I've already stated that "personalized medicine" is an investing trend to watch.

Genomics, or "personalized medicine" will be the next investing boom. It will be much larger than the Internet boom and will create more millionaires than the Internet Wave did.

The 30,000 "switches" in your body (genes) or the "software of life", represent the next investing boom.

The Internet was all about saving time and communication.
The personalized medicine boom is about adding time. More specifically, adding years to life.

The "PC for the health industry" just became affordable to the masses today.

Forbes calls it the coolest new gadget and it isn't at CES.

unlike other DNA sequencers that involved a complicated system of chemicals and optical instruments, this one is a semiconductor chip,

it proves that Life can make its semiconductor DNA sequencing chips faster and more powerful at a pretty dramatic clip

Life Technologies Corp. said it would begin taking orders for a machine that is designed to sequence a person's entire genome in one day for $1,000

THE BIG PICTURE: Life Technologies says the expense and long processing time of whole-genome sequencing have limited the procedure to relatively few research labs. By speeding up the process, and making it cheaper, Life Technologies hopes to rapidly increase the market for sequencing services. 

Existing products can take weeks, or longer, to sequence a human genome, the company said, and the procedure can cost between $5,000 and $10,000. Instruments to do the sequencing can cost between $500,000 and $750,000. Life Technologie's machine should run approx $149k.(source)

Motley Fool calls this announcement incredible.
 
This next investing boom is now possible.

How To Find The Biggest Stocks For 2012

How To Find Big Stocks

Finding big stocks is not hard to do, if you know what to look for.

Each year when they list the top performing stocks of the year, almost every one of them has the same thing in common.
 
They offer something unique or disruptive, that either creates or changes a current investing trend.

To find Big Stocks, you need to do two things:

1. spot investing trends early

2. determine what companies have the competitive advantage (the disruptive or breakthrough component) in them.

The tool in my book, will find these for you.

To get you started, I have already listed several investing trends to watch this year.

Let the tool in my book help you spot trends before the masses. As Wayne Gretzky once said, " I skate to where the puck will be". Big Stock hunting is very similar, invest in companies (with the competitive advantage) that will be in front of an investing trend.

Why Are Vending Machines So Vital To The Mobile Industry?

Vending machines will soon be mini cell towers.

 It is being called WiFi 2.0 and Hypernet and the Japanese are about to make it take off.

Understand that this is where the mobile industry is headed. One of the investing trends I highlight in my book (How To Find Big Stocks) called "WiFi 2.0". The "holy grail" of communications is when any computing device can switch seamlessly among different frequencies so that the transmission of data (regardless of size) is never stopped.

Soon every cell phone will be able to switch seamlessly between cell towers and WiFi hotspots.

This solves a couple problems for wireless carriers:
1. how to handle to deluge of data being used on their network
2. finding new real estate to put up cell towers

You have to realize that any WiFi hot spot will be a mini cell tower now and cell phones will switch back forth (cell tower and wifi) to keep signal.

The Japanese are launching vending machines that not only offers drinks but also sends out Wi-Fi signals within a 50m radius

Indian ISP Blocks Sites For Illegal File Sharing

 Digital rights is one investing trend I discuss (investing trends).

Internet service providers (ISP) are taking no chance with legal recourse and just shutting down websites that are responsible for illegal file sharing.

an Indian court seemingly having no problems issuing widespread ISP blockades in response to a request from movie studio Reliance Entertainment. The reasoning is that Reliance is hoping to prevent the file sharing of its latest movie. But rather than narrowly targeting the file sharing of that movie (or of other Reliance properties), the court ordered complete blocking of a variety of websites including Megaupload and BTJunkie  (full story)

The recording industry is already placing digital watermarks in new releases, how much longer before the movie industry adopts this technology?

Investing trends to keep your eye on.

Say It Forget It, Write It Regret It...An "Off the Grid" Trend Coming

Get ready for a new trend when people go digitally "off the grid". Look for people to stop clicking "share this" and "like this" because of the future ramifications it will have.

One of the upcoming investing waves I discuss in my book, is the growing demand for digital rights and privacy. The Internet is a fantastic medium for digital delivery, but we are sacrificing a lot of control (whether you recognize it or not).

Banks, employers, dating services and many other entities are using your digital footprints for their qualification process. A compromising picture, or emotional Tweet is now coming back to bite you.

Most people are not aware that anything transmitted over the Net is public information and can (and will) be seen by thousands (if not millions) of people.

They are just starting to see how their past Net activity is influencing their future.

Remember as a kid yor parents would tell you to count to 10 before you said anything when you're mad? Perhaps there should be a delay on the send, reply or post button. I call it the "just in case" button. I am sure there are plenty of times when you wish you could have pulled something back off the Net.

Some interesting cases are now appearing in court that have to do with digital rights.

1. Who owns your followers on Twitter, you or your employer?

2. Who can share your personal information with?

3. Can your Facebook image be used to promote products without your permission?

So next time think twice before you share an article or "like" something.

Stop Online Piracy Act

SOPA

Managing digital rights is an investing wave to start watching. The ease of digital production and distribution (and duplication) has created a conundrum for digital content owners.

Where is the line between sharing and stealing?

Do you know what SOPA is?

The (SOPA)Stop Online Piracy Act in a nutshell

Here's how it affects you.

How it is affecting companies that register domains (GoDaddy)

Using digital watermarks and a spider that browses the Net for illegal digital reproductions. Here's a company that is has the patent, and the competitive advantage for this investing trend.

Digital Locking "Digital Media Distribution Method and System" (Granted US 20020146122) This patent provides a method of locking digital content which prevents play back on unauthorized machines and devices. Claims include separating security from the content, so that content files can be shared securely over peer to peer networks. This is one of the earliest patents for securing peer to peer distributed content.

Finally White Spaces Get Turned On..Another Investing Wave To Watch

 It has been called "WiFi on steroids" and is definitely an investing wave to watch.

 I have been talking for years about this huge broadband opportunity for the US.

 White Spaces offers a "ton of bandwidth"

That is a highly desirable chunk of spectrum because the signals can easily pass through walls and other solid objects, giving them a much greater reach than WiFi or even WiMAX, both of which operate in higher frequency bands.

Microsoft said access to white spaces offers "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband access to all Americans."
 
From GigaOm White Spaces Are A Go! 

With today’s approval of the first TV white spaces database and device, we are taking an important step towards enabling a new wave of wireless innovation.  Unleashing white spaces spectrum has the potential to exceed even the many billions of dollars in economic benefit from Wi-Fi, the last significant release of unlicensed spectrum, and drive private investment and job creation.

Microsoft calls "white spaces" the greatest improvement in Internet access since the advent of Wi-Fi."

WiFi 2.0 And Now It's Being Called The Hypernet..It Is A Huge Investing Wave

A major investing wave is approaching, do you know what stocks have the competitive advantage in it?

If you have been using the tool in my book (How to Find Big Stocks), you have already spotted them by now.

Roger McNamee, one of the most successful venture capitalists, defines the next wave for the Internet which he calls the "Hypernet and Hyperweb"

One of the reasons I am so excited about this point in time is that, in the last few years, the new infrastructure has been put into place for a major new wave.

Roger and I think the new infrastructure combines the web plus cellular plus WiFi (which we call the Hypernet), combined with potential new user experiences that involve billions of nodes and millions of clouds (which we call the Hyperweb).


This is also called HotSpot 2.0 and it is one of the waves I discuss in my book.


Hotspot 2.0 is an industry initiative that will use 802.11u to provide seamless automatic Wi-Fi authentication and handoff, allowing mobile users to roam between the networks without additional authentication
*this can also include other devices and objects

Gartner's Akshay Sharma made this prediction for Hotspot 2.0:

" Hotspot 2.0 with FMC will be the dominant (over 50%) approach for carriers to achieve carrier grade 4G offload by 2015"

 The ability for any device to switch between cell tower and wi-fi (without user having to do anything) is the next big thing for mobile...call it WiFi 2.0 or the "Hypernet".

 Several tech experts have called it the "holy grail patent". A tiny company just received this patent in a long court dispute and are now starting to monetize it.

We put together a summary of this technology/company  that has the key patent for Hotspot 2.0 and which we consider a VERY RISKY "100 Bagger" opportunity.
(this company is currently in settlement negotiations with TMobile)
