I hope everyone remembers what was being talked about (smile). John, I
get the feeling that we are not all talking about the same variety of
fruit here.
What I got from raisch's pipe metaphor was the fact that we aught to be
able to interact. The Cable TV Industry, and TV in general does not
promote interaction. The "video on demand" could be supplied (big pipe
in) but if most of the bandwidth was taken up with that, concievably,
there could be prohibitative pricing structures for data (little pipe out,
or expensive pipe out).
That's what I got from his pipe metaphor, maybe I read it too simplisticly.
