A reaction to Bob Frankston
I cant reveal the Cook Report message thread but the context is a discussion about Joost being great quality and Bob complaining about the cable operators being a monopoly

Bob now you have gone too far… SP/P? Because of content? My recollection is that Cable paid to have HBO built, because they wanted content that added value to them. You do not begrudge them that; do you? If you do? Then certainly Google is on the wrong side of the equation as well.
For those who don’t know me, Let me tell you I am not a Vidiot. Not big on any of this stuff. Find it’s the diversion of the masses trying to invade my life. My wife is sending me you tube stuff and its all rehashed commercial TV. No interest. Now cable because they have a hungry beast for channels at least gives me something more diverse then broadcast.
My hope is that the Video on the Net stuff as Jeff calls it will give me further diversification. To the point where I get the SPEBSQSA Barbershop Singing channel. At that point, I will have something I want to watch. I also know that on this email thread, I will probably be the only one interested. That’s okay. Given the Internet, give me a portal and I will find the Community of Interest.
As for quality. I remind you of the final scenes in the Music Man when the kids play their instruments. IMHO. If its something I care about my need is for tolerable quality.
But you got to know the territory.
