All: From the article in my previous post: "People are attracted to content not technology," says Broadband's Brumfield. "The mass-market TV-centric version of the Internet is coming on the heels of the more elite subscriber-based version. What I think we'll start seeing in the next few years is that hyperlinked channels over digital television via set-top boxes with cable modems offering games, videos, commerce, whatever, are going to become so valuable that they'll pay for themselves. At that point the broadband providers could start giving away Internet access for free." What do folks here in the ATHM thread think about this notion of giving it away for free, eventually? Do you think it's going to happen as stated in the excerpt? Curious as to what your opinions are. Regards, Frank C.
