I really think you are on to something with AT&T/Direct TV, and it was certainly the understatement of today's news. The fact is, that digital TV and free data are the best of bedfellows with regard to DirectTV being available on mobile devices, and it just so happens that mobile device viewing is actually going to overtake TV viewing for certain events, especially sport. So here we have access to 60M AT users and a 70% reduction in price of data from AT that SYT can utilize directly with the end users themselves, as opposed to being the middleman only between user and content provider. SYT provides the content through Freeway using very cheap data, which users can subscribe to. The significance of this is that users themselves will be contracting directly to Syntonic, which is a completely different financial model yet seen. Don't forget that SYT will also get paid from the content providers themselves each time an app hosted on Freeway is downloaded. With this model, not only are we getting paid by the content providers, but the users too who use the subscription model, if I understand it correctly. If so, 60M potential AT customers is nothing to wiggle your mouse at.
Anyway, there is a lot that will come from the AT&T relationship; that is certain.
@andyclark, the problem with the stock market is, it acts according to human sentiment. If I knew that before I commenced trading, I would have turned to horse racing instead. At least a horse is more predictable. In Syntonic's case, I think there is an argument that we are suffering from the Aussie, Tall Poppy Syndrome, that is, SYT is too big for its boots. I get this feeling from the STT thread where I spend some time, where the gun traders refuse to discuss it, and SYT is not even on the list of top tech stocks of at least two good traders that live there, even though SYT is one of the best tech performers; go figure.
Either that or they are buying up in silence. Probably though, they are waiting for revenue to see if all our hot talk equates to hot figures. They can afford to burn a few digits, whereas plebs like me can't afford not to be in from when the fire was first smoldering (.017).
