Note I said "...certain major...". For sure, not all=20
content owners have the might or time to become ISP's=20
(whether for themselves or for their customers). But=20
definitely, "certain major" ones do... and we are already=20
seeing bits of that, here and there in the world...
I can't predict the future, but if "certain major" content=20
owners/networks find the barriers to entry surmountable,=20
consolidation could close the loop (certainly, if money,=20
skill and effort wasn't my problem, this would be one of my=20
strategies).
And if the industry were go this way, I wouldn't expect to=20
see it coming. It would start small. Very small. No big bang=20
announcement or launch...=20
Mark.
