Who's to say Mosaic as we know it will even exist in 8 to 12 months? There
are better browsers right now. There will undoubtedly be more robust
software for publishers to access the Web in due course.
Better this than Oracle/TCI/Time-Warner/Viacom/Microsoft's slick vision of
passive consumption clothed in the disguise of whiz-bang "interactive
television."
Let ten-thousand virtural cottage industries bloom!
(Ken Auletta's piece on the Time/Warner Orlando ITV trials in the _New
Yorker_ last week was quite good).
Carry on.
