lml- I almost knew what you were driving at in advance, but didn't want to jump to conclusions without asking you first. It is very interesting speculating on the 'future' of where this is all heading and I did think this is what you were referring to. I completely agree with your comment about, "certain to change." No doubt about that. I'm not sure if you caught the GG comments upstream. I can't quite recall who posted them. But they went along the lines of, "Broadcast TV is a waste. It will be dead. The explosion of bandwidth will kill the current advertising model, etc.." Remember I'm paraphrasing but I think I have the gist. I'm still pondering his comments. What really drives the billion dollar/day spending on telecommunications infrastructure? I know one answer(within the US only) is the $5,000,000,000,000 we consumers manage to spend on durable and non-durable goods and services. Or is it $6 trillion? I can't quite recall. But it's a LOT of money. And it's very important to connect the sellers with the buyers eyeballs and ears. And that is where the Internet steps in and changes everything. You say the ISP will have control over consumers eyeballs and ears. Maybe you are correct? But it's hard for me to believe that any ISP will be allowed to control our online experience. If they don't allow us complete freedom to access hundreds of millions of content sites, we won't be their customer. So I'm not quite sure how they would go about...oh I see. I re-read your post. You say the ISP won't control our experience, we will choose to view what they broadcast because it will have compelling content. In other words, it's by choice....interesting idea and I have to ponder some more before making any further comments. -MikeM(From Florida)
