>I believe, in another thread somewhere, he said he doesn't own a TV.

I didn't know that.

>In general TV in it's past/present states, sucks big time! Parents since the 1960's have used it to "keep the kids busy/entertained". Of course the networks know this and keep pumping out the junk that keeps the children and adults coming back for more.


Somewhere on this thread he use the analogy of TV companies as to what ISPs will become. It just seemed to me to be a poor analogy, knowing the standard of television that the TV companies pump out - could be this will be the way the new ISPs go - web services for the brain dead, rather than the wonderful, quality services that Mike envisages. It's more profitable to provide cheap low quality services for the masses who don't care, rather than high quality services for the few that do.
