Roy - I have received promotional literature for two such reports in the 
past week, both from reputable companies:

Ovum Reports:Virtual Reality Business Applications, Markets and 
Opportunities.
tel: +44 171 255-2670 email: info@ovum.mhs.compuserve.com
price: GBP 1,195 in Europe, US$ 2,220 elsewhere

Frost & Sullivan VR European Report
tel: +44 171 730-3438
price: (approximate) GBP 2,500

I can say that I've spent some time in discussion with the editors of 
the Ovum report, and can vouch for the accuracy of their presentation of 
Division, Division's customers, and our view of the potential market. I 
have not spoken to anyone from Frost & Sullivan for more than a year 
now, so I have my doubts about that one...
