Anyone knows of something like that? Thanks in advance, Thierry Deruelle www.dztd.ca Hi,

It's sort of scary that a cat food or plastic company has a lot of control over our favorite sitcom or reality show!

I would love for everything to happen like that, and to tell you the truth--if we are ever able to build this model I will GLADLY pay $20-$30 more to keep commercials out of my life. On the other hand, I don't see this happening. I hope I am wrong. What you are proposing is to cut out the middle man, who gets at least $92 Billion a year to provide us with "entertainment". With this much money on the line, I really don't see the big telecom just "giving up" their content. They will surely put up a hell of a fight to preserve the old model. Just look to what they did to "a-la-carte" model that was just floating around a couple of years ago.(ability to buy only cable channels that you want). This had an overwhelming support among the Congress and the General Public who is sick of paying $100 a month to basically watch their 3 or 4 favorite channels. There were even hearings on the Hill scheduled. And what happened? Poof! GONE! Not even a peep. This is an extremely wonderful and well thought out essay.
