From an admittedly very small sample, I believe that cruising the net for an hour or two each evening is starting to replace watching sitcoms. For those folks, who I believe will number in the tens of millions within a year or so (even sooner ?), this argument about $40 or $30 or $50 being too much will sound a lot like the "who needs all those channels, what will they put on them ?" sort of thinking that made Ted Turner a few bucks. My uncle, an executive at Proctor & Gamble, expressed this very concern to me about a year ago, and their recent announcement about an increase in internet advertising reflects the writing on the wall. Wait till visions such as Paul Allen's wired world and others start to gel and you will see folks jumping for broadband in leaps and droves. Comcast can't begin to hire enough folks to install cable modems here in Sarasota. If people who live in this fantastic climate want skip golf and the beach to surf indoors, imagine what people in winter climates will want to do. IMHO
