CBSMW: Blockbuster is going on the Internet. You've said before that video on demand is going to be a big thing for the future. Reif Cohen: I think the cable operators are probably better positioned than Blockbuster (BBI: news, msgs) on that. The technology is here; they are offering pay per view. They are going to be testing true video on demand over the next six to nine months and rolling it out a year from now. cbs.marketwatch.com It that analyst has such low expectations of BBI, I wonder what it thinks of the smaller players in this market.
