YES!!!
This NCN is more than a year behind infinet which had pretty much the same
idea and made it happen quickly. I just got an e-mail talking about
infinet signing up CBS to provide internet connects for all affiliates.
These will be directly competative with NCN. They will have a serious
head start and plenty of time to sign up new users.
This newspaper bunch has never made anything happen quickly. This is another
reactive response to the continued errosion of the share of mind that
newspapers hold.
