Hi,

I think I'd pay some amount of money for a top class paid service, that is

- few or no adverts
- no repeats in say, one month's content
- high definition
- a good spread of genres, eg, docos, nature, drama, sport etc
and so on

The reasoning is that free-to-air content is, I think, 90% garbage and getting worse, so no use looking there for the future. Like the situation in the USA.

Internet streaming is the wild card when you crystal ball gaze it, and it has the potential to render both free-to-air as it is now, and also the current Foxtel model, both obsolete.

The big trouble is that the infrastructure is not up to it right now, as Netflix shows at the moment. I pay Optus cable broadband extra cash for a so-called "speed pack" and it is a stupid waste of money. I can rent a movie, but not stream it in peak time.

Maybe Facebook is all we need. I think I'll post a photo there of my navel.

Cheers
