No such thing as a free lunch...

I agree, but if you charge me, the subscriber you'd better not subject me to any advertising.

Re: No such thing as a free lunch...

I agree here.. If it is to be a paid subscription... then no ads please.

But I for one would not pay for video clips.. I have the damn TV and can view the news on the many 24hr news stations available.

Then again there do exist premium content websites such as
-Hoovers.com and Edgar-online, the source for SEC filings- the information contained on these pay-as-you-go sites cannot be found very easily anywhere else so you almost *have* to pay. At least that has been *my* experience.

 No advertisement and content at high enough quality that I will be blessed to have a high speed connection! I want a true 5 inch display of video viewing area. I want the option of streaming content at 700K, that when I make it full screen it actually is less pixilated. I'm not merely looking for audio highlights of events, I want video coverage. That is what the broadband dream (and selling point) was for me.

Don't make someone pay for sub-quality content that was previously free, make the premium content worth paying for!

 HAHAHAHA! You think THAT"S gonna happen? You'll have the honor of paying a fee to have customized ads pumped down your pipe. You think there NOT gonna track that kind of info. These companies do not see us people; rather as a renewable source of income. ANYTHING they can do to increase that revenue will be fair game.
