Actually, regardless of how it works out for Steve, this is a good sign, showing maturation of the field. In fact it is a very good sign.
I can foresee several hundred corporations, labs, universities, overseas parties, other journalists, governments, military and so forth signing up. They will pay this service gladly, so long as he can provide it without the deep crap of the others. It is not a "cake-walk into town" to misquote Taj but if he adds the staff, he can pull it off. IOW - this would be a convenience worth paying for, if Steve can cut through the clutter and BS of the normal PR release, 99% of Rossi's BS, etc. and provide only relevant info to serious parties with good journalism and real interviews. In fact, one thousand subscribers is my estimate. Krivit, like it or not - has the most credibility in the field, since Sterling is deemed as way too gullible, and the others have been mostly "me too" with a few exceptions ... even if SK's standards are not sufficient for us, here on vortex. I just hope that individuals who cannot afford the service can get fairly rapid access to the same information - which of course they can, if they can wait a day or two. It's all about perceived value, including time. Jones -----Original Message----- From: Akira Shirakawa Jed Rothwell wrote: > Summary: He is going to subscription mode.

There has been a significant rise in general (non-technical) interest about LENR however, at least according to Google: http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=lenr&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/?q=lenr Cheers, S.A.
