No you are right on. Gone will be the days of prescribed programming; instead, the viewer will have a more active role in program selection. Pay per view is merely a beginning. To accomplish this you need fast internet access for transfer of video and voice, large storage facilities to house programming libraries, and a set top box at home with a very large hard drive. The technology is here. I believe that PA, along with several other heavy weights, is invested in the set top box but I can't recall specifics. Imagine spending the afternoon watching ones favorite Gilligan's Island episodes, sans commercials (but thats one of the complicating issues - the ability to remove ads with the set top box; Enter email advertisements...)
