this certainly wasn't an original web idea; i remember a time when television was free,
and paid for by the advertising. Now we can't get decent reception without cable, at a
cost of 30.00+ a month.

Eye,

You are correct. This was not the plan except for maybe the portals since they live on advertising. E-commerce firms have a cost of goods sold that is much higher. This will all change in time too.
