>>>KTEL has been flooding the airwaves with its ads for decades, hawking greatest-hits albums, Slim Whitman, Boxcar Willie, et al. Now they are suddenly thrown into the "internet" category simply because they declare intent to offer their wares via the web?<<<

Perhaps it's not as insane as you think. www.ktel.com will offer over 250,000 titles from all labels - just like CDnow and N2 - not just K-tel compilations. KTEL is still around 1:1 PSR at the current price. KTEL has a successful distribution model. KTEL has a track record of being profitable, something that AMZN and CDNW do not. You may have no respect for their compilation albums, but they've been turning a profit with them.

You've seen how far YHOO,AMZN, and CDNW can run, why play with KTEL when it's just starting? I mean, unless you want to play it long?
