Can I tell you what else will be big? On-demand TV and movies on the Net. As soon as enough users access through cable, you'll be able to pull up TV shows and movies on-demand (kind of like pay-per-view). More and more people will also be getting the big-screen monitors. You could actually have different shows in different windows. Guess what? Yahoo announced a new movie channel. Shows movie showtimes and info for all across the country. They said it was their biggest request. Soon, you'll be able to order movies through your computer ($$$$) and that's Yahoo's vehicle. SEEK has to be watching that. fwiw, I sent a letter to SEEK this morning about the games, etc:

I am a stockholder in your company and want to hold for the long term. Are you planning real-time online gaming and fantasy sports? LCOS just announced their online gaming area and yahoo has a real nice (and popular) one: http:play.yahoo.com A very nice fantasy sport site is: sandbox.net I hope you're working on this as it lends a more community and fun feel to the site. Thanks for listening.
