TCI CEO Malone presents refined vision of Cable/Internet
At Fridays Cable Industry Annual Trade Event John Malone presented a refined vision of internet services. Cable a poor man's Net?
Some excerpts:

"That would include things such as e-mail, local weather and traffic reports, program listings and home shopping that is made even easier than it is now.....

......You could order cubic zirconia with the click of a button, he said"

Malone promises that certain internet ads would be seen by all subscribers.

I don't view this vision as internet on cable, but a few internet like services. I also think it clearly indicates that the Cable industry has concluded that full internet access via Cable set-top box is not feasible for quite some time.

Here's the link.
