Re: AOL & CBS and the whole industry
To everyone,

when convergence comes into play, the internet needs distribution via TV into America's homes-it almost won't matter anymore what "CBS" or "NBC" means- people will choose which programs they want to watch, when, and how much "support" or "related info" they want via the internet simultaneously-
I guess there won't be TV networks as we know them today-
The most important fact is that right now, the internet guys need CBS and NBC and the likes - to get into people's homes (en masse) and cars (radio)
- in the near future- CBS will need them!

CBS, technically, would be the best route for AOL to buy or partner with-- CBS are the largest TV broadcaster (as far as reach/markets) in the country

We will have to wait until early 1999 to see the planned IPO's of women's online community iVillage and financial news site CBS Marketwatch.com..."
