I agree with your post on Yahoo. It's a free service the only sites I know that charge are the Wall Street Journal, ESPN and Disney (excluding porn of course! <G>). I am not sure how well Disney and ESPN are doing since you can get similar content for free on the Internet. Ad revenue cannot keep sustaining these sites, unlike TV where you are stuck watching the commercials or paying not to watch them, the Internet is a more active medium where you tend to concentrate on the content and not the ads. I still think AOL is the only true Internet play along with the companies that are building the intrastructure of the Internet. What I want from a internet connection is a digital TV with instant access to video and audio, voice recognition software, and easy to use remote and optional keyboard. When this happens then the flood gates will open to web destinations that will be able to charge fees to use their services. Hey I still remember my first Commodore VIC 20, we have come light years in a very short time. So lets break up Microsoft and get the Internet revolution back on the right track. Moneyguy
