4) Detailed Project Description
5) Technical Considerations and Feasibility
6) Conclusions and Next Steps
------------------

As indicated above, much collaboration would be needed from large commercial companies. My best bet for getting free support and airtime would be to first create a solid proof-of-concept prototype using the facilities at the Rogers Communications Centre.

A business person would want solid facts on how a proposal will increase their market share so an in-depth study or white paper on user behaviour towards interactive television, video billboards, wireless devices, and Yonge-Dundas Square would be good to produce in order to support the validity my project.

Also beneficial to getting my foot in the door for a presentation would be to have the backing of a large organization such as Ryerson, including any personal contacts the staff or faculty may have. And since I�m still a student and apt to not receiving as much respect as someone working professionally in the field, a spiffy multimedia presentation would be a must!
