I'm wondering how their AOLTV product will go now .. this seems like a more direct threat to timewarner/aol cable now.

Exactamundo. As I see it, the greatest vulnerability to the DBS platform was the inability to provide the interactive experience the MSOs are pushing for. Sure, there's been a lot of criticisms regarding iTV. But really, how often do those who take on risk and introduce new technology get it right the first time. iTV will be here soon, and it will be very appealing to a certain segment of the population. How large that segment will be remains to be seen, but I think it will be a large portion of the consumer market who are already drawn to DBS, to broadband, and to e-commerce. iTV is definitely in the cross-hairs of those in the broadcast industry. Its a "buried treasure" ready to be claimed.
