Yes, that's what I meant - by "grab them" I meant the=20
traditional ISP's who are also in the content game (U-Verse,=20
Xfinity, FiOS, e.t.c.) are making a deliberate or=20

So yes, we are on the same page, Owen; the lack of body in=20
e-mail is not either of us justice :-).=20
But, like I said, all this is conjecture on my part. Netflix=20
may not have the might or time to become an ISP, but other=20

for being ISP's, even though they may run very large global=20
IP networks) might.

I'm aware - it's easier for me to say "content owner" to=20
encompass that industry (given some content players own and=20
distribute content, while others simply distribute it), but=20
I know this list is well clued in on the nuances of the=20
terminology.
