Where in this wonderful post does it say anything about the internet or interactive tv thru cable systems to the tv?

You have made some very valuable points these last few weeks and even though I'm long I took what you had to say very seriously because it appears you are a pretty smart guy and have done some homework. IF you really are as smart as I think you are then I would keep an open mind to the possibility that you missed something here. The CABLE CO's will be in absolute control over their environment and if you think for one minute they are going to put themselves in the position of letting MSFT or Oracle control this environment then you haven't done enough due diligence on the cable industry. This is one tough crowd to do business with. IF SRCM's technology works ,why wouldn't the cable co's. want to do business with them? It would cost them next to nothing... just a small amount per subscriber which would be built into the price of a new digital tier of service offered to the customer and a percentage of all revenue derived from on line sales.
