You're probably right. Witness, for example, the fact that people think they
need to rely on a middleman (other than their ISP) even to see Internet TV.
Almost like saying, "from frying pan to fire."
Instead, I'm rather enjoying Internet TV. For those set up as I am, PC fed to
TV and audio system, sites like ThisTV.com offer a long choice of movies on
demand. I discovered, when ThisTV is watched online, the commercials are even
omitted. You see a short glitch where the commercial used to be.
