| In Other News, Water Is Wet That there exist astroturf morons like Mark Cuban et al should come as no surprise to anyone who is paying attention to NN and the direction the net is taking as providers vie for ::CONTROL:: n
In the final analysis, I predict the net becomes just like cable TV. 500 channels, 12 of which the majority of subcribers watch at least half of the time, walled gardens and PPV. The ultimate goal is a few select, behemoth providers control 98% of the content on the web, just as was done to both cable and the airwaves. If you think Clear Channel radio sucks ass, you haven't seen anything yet once providers take over and quadruple dip everyone for Internet access. |
