However, on my panel at CES("Finding Money in a Bad Economy"), I did not know whether to be amused or scared by comments that fellow VC/PE panelists when said they will not look at business plans with advertising as a component in the business plan. Oh really? In this economy, we are going to expect the avg consumer to shell out $25 to see a football game in 3d at a theater...I don't think so. More so, forget movies at $18, $20 or even $30. We have to figure out a way to monetize outside of the consumer. I agree that traditional ad models should not be funded, but this means we have to look at innovative new revenue streams. It is like 1939 all over again and the TV had to be monetized, so post-depression consumers were not burdened with yet another unaffordable expense. 1939 meet 2009...70 years different, yet very much the same... 3D was a standout technology as well for me at CES.
