Re: Will the "unskippable ads" count toward the Caps too? Sure will, same as Hulu ads.
FCC says "we're going network neutral" so CC CAN"T give you 'bit credits' if it would advantage their content over that of a third party.
Part of the model/balance they'll need to find is how much/how long the commerial portion typical users will sit through berfore they go elsewhere, something Hulu has done well (15 second max, in program, or 45 seconds at the beginning) and Broadcasters have not, especially recently (a 2-5 minute commerial block at predictable times in the program is plenty of time for a trip to the bathroom, make a snack, surf too/get involved in another show. (or skip over if VCR/DVR recorded) |

| I agree. And Hulu has had great success in delivering ads while not being annoying to users. I for one wouldn't mind seeing DVRs go away and just make EVERY program available on demand right when it airs without the ability to skip ads (or just limited fast-forwarding). While I'm no fan of ads, they do keep money flowing to companies that make good entertainment. If anything is to blame for all these reality shows, I would say it's that ad revenues drop because people don't watch them.
