Popup is adult invention, yes, mainstream perfected it and we then took what they did.

Randall, I agree with many things, but I also think that even recently adult has helped greatly to shape bandwidth. A lot of bandwidth today is from mainstream, yes, but we know for a fact that we (Manwin) are somewhere in the Top 5 users of bandwidth worldwide, and thus we are helping the internet community a great deal in slashing those prices.

I think we are in a position today, just like with many other technologies in the past, where adult entertainment has done its share to promote the technology but has now given it to mainstream to rule it. This happened with video (vhs) for example, and it happened with the internet.

That does not change the fact that adult entertainment helps shape the use of technology.

The internet has been taken over by mainstream, and adult entertainment will have to wait for the next innovation to step in and help it grow.
