Barry and Stockman. Thanks for the input on cable/internet. Now I'm wondering why WebTV Plus and TCI are talking about minimal internet services via cable? Putting the "contention" issues aside, what prevents them from providing full internet access via the set-top box cable modem. Even WebTV Plus, with both cable and POTS modem, is talking about limited web features on cable. I refer again to John Malones comments at the western Cable conference Friday. Cable, the poor man's imternet? Thanks in advance, Gene
