	Very Interesting.
	But here are some of the issues that come to mind.

	Who is in control of dispersing the data. (Like Cable 
	TV companies and cable channel producers), will they
	impose a set of guidelines, rules or restrictions on
	how much money and to whom.
	
	Or like Pay per view. Will there be a minimum amount
	regardless of how much benefit, if any, that is derived.

	Ultimately, relying on the largesse of a consumer, is I
	think courting disaster. 

	I think publishing houses will abound, who will directly 
	or indirectly influence the nature and cost of data/
	instructions dispersed to the consumer. These publishing 
	houses, having the technical expertise would be able to work 
	with cash advances to developers/ development groups showing 
	promise and desire to work within certain areas.

	So, a penny for your thoughts ? I don't think so. A reply
	maybe.

	Srinivasan Sriram.
