In general I support the principle of outsourcing. I think Josh Harris was
assuming that the really big content companies, such as ESPN, can afford to
develop their own in-house staffs and might want the control.

I suspect the question isn't whether or not Broadcast.com can find its
niche, but whether it can generate enough long-term sales to justify the
high stock prices.
