What's the point you're trying to make? Cuecat is a product. It's not an industry, medium, or platform, like TV and radio is. Your quote is a false equivalence.

But it is.
It's not a product that's useful on its own like a toaster or CorelDRAW. Instead it sits at the middle of a two-sided market -- on the one hand publishers, on the other hand readers. If it had caught on it would have caught on.
