A word from our chairman
I'm happy
to report our
first newsletter was an outstanding success! We heard from
many new members and people who gave us positive feedback and creative
ideas.
To all those who took the time to send us your
thoughts, we appreciate it. This input will help us constantly improve this
newsletter
to make it a valuable tool of information and education.
After years of testing and research to develop our hosting and
marketing
distribution system, WSN TV 75 is expanding rapidly. We are now
inviting
professional multimedia specialists and educators to jump on board to
have
their work seen by people all over the world.
This month, I want to address the subject of education. WSN TV 75 is
not
only a company dedicated to marketing online entertainment, but we are
also
educating people to be online entrepreneurs. So we have a great
interest in
developing state-of-the-art online educational systems that will best
fit
people's needs.
With the economy shifting from an industrial base to an information
base,
hard working people are being laid off in droves. This is creating
demand
for re-training and re-education. At the same time, students are
crowded
into classrooms and taught outdated information with outdated methods.
We never heard much about A.D.D.-Attention Deficit Disorder until
children
started super-charging their brains with multi-media, multi-sensory
electronic devices. These children are under-stimulated in educational
systems designed before the Renaissance.
Overcrowded classrooms force children to compete for a single teacher's
attention. Large class sizes force teachers to overuse lectures and
they cannot
give children the attention they need to learn effectively. The state
of
education is in need of vast improvement.
What can we do about it? Get involved in the online education
revolution.
WSN TV 75 is leading this cause and you can help us bring about the
radical
changes necessary to educate kids sufficiently. Working together, we
can
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Buckminster Fuller was an architect who invented the geodesic dome. At
one
point in his life, he was a broken hearted, bankrupt man on the verge
of
suicide. He turned his life around by dedicating the rest of his to
helping
humanity. He made millions, then gave it all away. Then, did it again
and
again. Talk about "giving back". He was one man and he made a
difference.
Wow!
Our mission at WSN TV 75 is to provide information, education,
entertainment, and economic opportunity to better the lives of 7
billion
people to thrive in the new economy and learn to earn a decent living
in the
Information Age.
We are currently selecting
financial partners from accredited investors and bankers to provide
funding
for our supercomputer network, FTTH projects, and state-of-the-art
database
systems. These projects will help us help you bring your multi-media
content to the work marketplace better, cheaper, and faster.
Lastly, we are launching our educational initiative to help people and
communities learn more about the critical need to implement a national
fiber
optic infrastructure to spawn economic development. Our business plan
matches bankers with local communities to deploy fiber as
an
economic development tool. After the banker receives guaranteed interest
and principal on a billion dollar scale-20 year
long term project loan, the fiber assets ownership will be turned over to the
community.
Our TV production team is beginning production of a series of
educational
shows highlighting our business plan and FTTH projects. These shows
will be
aired on US Cable TV Networks and Internationally in 2004.
Times are exciting here in the cyber world!

Snippets
Internet based business is affecting many traditional businesses and
some
not so traditional businesses. Take video stores for instance. It's
easy to
see how the Internet is affecting traditional video store sales. The
consumer who has begun surfing the net has found all kinds of
entertainment
online and in the comfort of their home. Why get in the car and go rent
a
movie when you've got plenty to keep you occupied at your computer?
But
more interestingly, there are many businesses you might not have
thought
about that are also suffering losses. Remember the old time bookie
that
lived in the community and took bets on sporting events? They are
facing
stiff competition with the advent of online gambling. One online
betting
business started by two friends in 2000 (one a bond trader for a major
investment house and the other a software specialist) has now become a
billion dollar bookmaker business.
At this writing 48 US States are experiencing financial troubles and
governments worldwide are experiencing some financial pain by budget
deficits
by digitalization, virtualization and globalization of world economy.
Social safety net organized by charities, non-profit foundations, and
NGOs
are greatly needed to help outsiders of this new fiber driven economy
who
were downsized in jobs and failed in businesses. Fiber and software
driven
corporate productivity increases generated downsizing of tens of million
of
blue and white color workers worldwide past 20 years.
100 people can produce same amount of products by using factory
automation
and office Information Technology deployment as what it took
300
people to do 20 years ago.
Heavy deficit governments have certain limitations to guarantee 7 billion
people with decent life support.
Those who are knowledgeable enough to make money on the Internet are
not
about to let go of their business and they will continue to improve
their
delivery of goods and services online. Traditional business that
doesn't
accept it will never be able to keep up.

An Editorial from the Foundation
Full Broadband deployment will bring economic revitalization to
disadvantaged areas and create a boom economy. If you don't believe
it,
just visit Korea where 20 world best IT products are being exported
including wireless phones, memory chips and LCD monitors with 100%
broadband
penetration. In fact, visit the Asian Pacific. The December 2003
"BusinessWeek" featured an article on "The Rise of India". The article
indicated that highly educated people living in India were becoming
enmeshed
in America's New Economy from Software development, It Consulting and
Chip
Design. This would not be possible without high speed internet access
to
connect India with companies in the US who are vying for their services
to
produce products on demand at cheaper prices than can be done by
professionals in the US.
A one million home project can bring 1,000 Mbps FTTH to 10 communities
of
100,000 homes and allow professionals to
compete .
Many people in economic dead zones depend on government assistance, but
they
will choose to earn their own living when given the opportunity.
People in
India and Korea are now getting the opportunity by their government and corporations'
investment in high-speed fiber.
This will cause a redistribution of wealth in the world. There are 10
million millionaires in the world. Their average wealth is $3 million
for a
total of $30 trillion. There are 50,000 super rich that have over $30
million each. There are 1,000 billionaires in the world.
The world's wealth is about $400 trillion. For the world's 6 billion
people, this is an average of about $70,000 per person. This wealth
generated about $40 trillion (10%) gross annual income. This is an
average
of about $7,000 income per person.
The top 0.15% of the global population owns 5% of the world's wealth.
They
are 33 times wealthier than the average person.
Half of the $400 trillion wealth is based on real estate
and physical assets. When the
real
estate and physical assets based market bubble breaks, $100
trillion will migrate to the real estate free virtual world.
The number of millionaires is increasing in the Asian Pacific while the
number of millionaires in the US and Europe is declining. This trend
is due
to the fact that the Asians are a highly educated population who have
adapted quickly to information technology and are rapidly developing a
new
information based economy.
It will be interesting following the next 10-15 years as the fiber
story
unfolds and we see how it affects the global economy. There will surely
be
new millionaires and new poor who used to be wealthy as a result. More info: http://wsntv7511.com/index.php?content=wsntvbp.htm
Options Made Easy
Have
a little fun, maybe make a little money. Options aren't
for everyone, but for those who want to learn, Jack makes
it fun. Our stock trader news author is a reporter who
loves
investing. As a reporter, rather than investment
advisor he tells it the way he sees it. In plain english. This
time he's come out with a new e-book on Option Trading.
A public relations and marketing writer, Jack
has a background in research and reporting. He
used that talent to discover the joy of option trading
and wants to share it with interested investors.
Jack's unique and energetic
writing style will keep you captivated while you learn
all about "calls", "puts" and option
trading. Options are a cheaper way to invest in
stock for a limited time. Your risk is the amount of money you invest
so it's not for your savings or big money. But
for small money that you are willing
to risk for potential big percentage return, this might be the book you've been looking for. Of course,
you know, the information in the book is the author's
opinion alone, and does not represent any warranty or guarantees
by WSN TV or the author. With that said, take
a look at the first three pages and see what you think.

Great Books in one Great Book
OK, so
you're at a cocktail party and someone starts talking
about Homer. You remember you once heard about
Homer in school 20 years ago but can't think of
one thing you really know about the subject. What
do you do?
Quick,
go find your copy of "The Great Books". You'll
be talking Homer before you know it. You might even
be the star of the conversation :-) This book
deals with great books of western thought that you know
you've heard about, but never had the time or energy
to read. From Euclid to Nietzche you'll get a
good overview, just enough to impress people with your
knowledge and look like a real intellectual.
A
mere 49 cents per chapter. The
first nineteen chapters in
the series are now available.
The whole book will be online later this fall. To see what's
in store for you, we're making one chapter available FREE for
the asking.
Part one, "The Early Greeks and Romans", is now completed,
existing of 19 chapters, of which 9 are new, for those who've
read the first
10.

Beatrice
Art: Flowing rivers
Based on her
own photographs from the auto show 2002 Paris, Beatrice transforms
these valuable vehicles into flowing passageways. To
express this 'asiatic'
language
of understanding,
would appear as liquified metal
flowing like a river, over the bumps, up and down the river, everywhere.
Her water-colors and oil paints of these deformed cars are really
worthwhile to view. She can make a transformed painting of
your car as well.

Mirrors
on the Wall: Monumental water-colors
The Mirrors
on the Wall project, by Rudolf Boogerman, consists of large water-colors,
sometimes combined with oil paint, that represents philosophical
or symbolic ideas in the form of stone
walls. These walls are intended to act
as mirrors which the observer can use to reflect upon himself
or thoughts triggered by the images.
This is the reason why this
project is called "Mirrors on the Wall". The idea is based on observations from
Oscar
Wilde in his book "The portrait of Dorian Gray".
Rudolf Boogerman,
both an artist and a multimedia expert, has been featured in
the previous newsletter with his "London Series" - project, which
also can be viewed on the site. His water-color technique
is very special and original, it doesn't look like water-color
at all which is quite an
interesting technique in itself.

Praxis
Media: the art of video
Praxis Media Group Inc. was founded by Mike Jansen in May of 2000.
Mike began his journey in the communications field in 1988 when
he ran into a college classmate who talked Mike into doing a voice
over for a video project. Mike put a demo tape together and began
his voice over career. Mike left his job selling long distance
telephone services in May of 1990 to pursue a full-time career
in voice overs and now on-camera talents for television commercials
and corporate training videos. In October of 1990 Mike took a job
with an audio and video production company as a salesman and over
time evolved his role into a producer, guiding projects to completion.
His talent shines through his videos. He is a prolific producer so
there is
surely something to please everyone.
