The real problem for folks going forward is those nasty "Monthly download Caps" that people are running into if they are downloading a lot of stuff. Audio is nothing compared to Video. Video, especially full blown uncompressed NTSC takes up a lot of bits. Then there is HDTV... The ultimate gorilla of bit consumption. I'm wondering what your ISP is going to do about that... a REAL PROBLEM!

Greetings, stillholding, and welcome to the board! You ask some good questions. As for not being a techie, hang around for a while and you'll find that it's not a pre-requisite. I've been following your chat with Eric with interest. Yesterday I read an article in the current issue of the subscription-only Crain's New York Business that very nicely put into perspective the churning effects that you alluded to. But more so, it focused on the shifts that are taking place from off-air tv, cable and radio broadcast consumption to Web-based and other, alternative content viewing and user participation trends of all forms. The multiple, discombobulated shifts taking place are quite remarkable, to say the least, leaving the principals of all affected segments and their ad networks wondering which way to turn next, and how best to hedge their near term tactics, while trying to figure out what their longer strategies should be.
