Has anybody thought of the NC client as a "Tuner Box" for ISP's?
I say "Tuner Box" in refrence to the cable TV industry, where as they give
you the tuner box and charge you for their services. Where as the ISP gives
out the NC and then provides them with service?

This is essentally what WebTV is doing but with a twist. We give the boxes
away and up the fee to, say, $50 / Month?

The question I ask to the group is how do the Cable companies finance their
equipment, what about the additional services the ISP could offer and how
much the 75% of the market that does not have a PC would buy in to this?
