IMHO   Virtual Spectator must be a winner as I am sure anyone
following the America's Cup presentation will agree.  This is '
leading edge' technology.  I am still using a screen saver on one of
my computers that I downloaded from their site - it is quite brilliant.
They must have some very clever programmers. On the question of the share
price for ITC I believe patience is the keyword, the price has
slumped because of  the impatience of the traders, who
look for some magical short-term results, and when the price adjusts
downwards they start to panic and push it further down.
To me this is a speculative investment but I feel the potential is
certainly there in the longer term. 
I believe the V.S. concept has the capability to be used for many
different sporting events.  I disagree with comments made a little
while ago that it was OK for yachting but not for much else.  I
think we will all be surprised with the eventual development. 
And this is not the only  ' iron in the fire'  for ITC
