Our take:
Using words like "unmatched" and "new level" is a sure way to guarantee that nobody takes your press release seriously. But even removing the hyperbole, something interesting is going on here: traditionally, PlayNetwork provided content for other digital signage networks to use -- regardless of the hardware or software powering them. Now, the content supplier has become a potential competitor to these vendors (us included), so we're scratching our heads over whether this will result in a net business/revenue gain for them or not.
We'd guess not at this point.
