Scumbria, re:set-top box will be a giveaway

If they follow the business model currently used by the cable companies for the decoder box for premium & PPV, this is a certainty (although the box really won't be free ... the user will pay one way or the other). The key is where does the revenue go? In this model, I believe it will go to the content owner and the controller of the infrastructure/pipeline. It could yield another whole class of internet-type stocks. NASDAQ will never be the same <gg>

Greg.
