well the viewers are already here... on the net. so the content would be coming to the viewers just as much or more so than the viewers coming to the content... i think channels on the net will eventually work like channels on TV. the idea of one BIG site like a youtube to contain all content channels.... wont happen. doesnt need to. at one point, their was talk about a youtube competitor coming out by a joint effort from various MSM companies, which i saw as simply stupid.... i dont know what the latest is on that - maybe someone could chime in. but the point is, its unnecesssary. If i am into a show, and its avail on the net now.... i'll go to it and watch it. I might even be on my couch looking at my TV as a surf on over to that site/channel. Or i might be using Joost. or both.
advertising..... doesnt have to be much different than on TV. ads can be built right into a video (ideal for mobile device distribs) or controlled within the VOD environment like Joost... which display pre,mid,post sponsor bumps (eventually i assume you would see full video commercials). sull On 3/13/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If the viewers are there, the networks will come.
