It's remarkably easy to make fun of Quibi:
* Most experienced media executives I know expect it will be a spectacular failure.
* Most experienced TV reviewers have panned the shows, the format, and the idea.
* Many commenters here on HN are looking at Quibi almost in disbelief ("Wait, they spent how much? On what!?")
But none of these opinions and prognostications will matter in the end. The only thing that will matter for Quibi is whether people around the globe sign up for the service or not. There are billions of people glued to their mobile phones every day around the planet; even a tiny fraction of billions is a big number. How many will sign up?
