Interesting Stuff, Dennis. I think the Web will shape television and Music going forward,,, and not the other way around. The world better get on the bandwagon or expire in the dust.... In strength there is weakness...and i think that's what AOL and Microsoft may face going forward. Information travels too fast these days. The protective mindset (fear based mindset) of old will no longer work. Everybodies getting better faster and stronger. All of this struggle only builds resolve and confidence. Long term its only good for business and high tech competition. The lean and mean will survive. The strong will survive.

re: hollywood and the recording industry will have to buy in to providing broad band to the home That's novel approach, and refreshing to see someone thinking past what we have now. AOL/warner has the right mix to make it happen, but I find it hard to see them getting into the telco biz, maybe they could buy out T. <g> Greg

Dennis: The U.S is the only major Country that had a flat rate local telephone service.This has resulted in the U.S generating the maximun Internet bits/person with little revenue for the network. The Customer here has been spoilt in terms of cost. This is why Europe and Japan are far ahead of us when it comes to Wireless and cable. These services do cost their Consumers but the xtra cost to the Consumer is relatively small. The big telcos desperately need to expand & control their income . I am not sure what the opposition and the FCC views would be if one of the RBOC's made a rate hike proposal or attempted to thow out the buggy analogs.
