I felt that you laboured the point beyond what was reasonable. It's a |
| 10 |
mis-understanding on my part, and I apologise. |

Delivering news via this mechanism allows us to reach far more people |
| 21 |
than we can via the other places. If we could already reach everyone, |
| 22 |
we wouldn't need this mechanism in the first place. |

I don't see the complexity here. We're proposing a capability to |
| 29 |
deliver news direct to our users, in a way that can be completely |
| 30 |
disabled or personalised. How many large corporations would kill to |
| 31 |
have something that could do that? ;-) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If I can't convince you of the merits, I guess there's nothing else for |
| 34 |
it but to continue work on delivering the proposal without your |
| 35 |
support :( |

Best regards, |
