Well, its a new media list, not purely Internet, but hey who am I to

carp/backbite/discuss the pro's and con's of registration? Nobody. 


Just throwing one out into the void: Does anybody else expect that the

advent of digital TV may see consumer-focused content fleeing the web, or

am I overly-paranoid? When I say consumer-focused, I mean services &

products for the UK-market that are of broad appeal, and not targeted at

business (you knew that, right?).


I'm just guessing that when/should the "TV vs. The Web" rumble kicks off,

the majority of domestic users will go for the new TV over the new

computer every time (yes, I have no statistics to back this up). After

all, computers are tricky, irritating, used by geeks, and always out of

date, whereas a TV is my friend, and I can play my new Dreamcast on it...


cheers,



Aidan
