@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 1996 From: Richard Layman <•••@••.•••> To: "Richard K. Moore" <•••@••.•••> ~--<snip>--~ Although I think a strong information-community building oriented Internet will be maintained, I guess I believe that a "mass-connected" NII-type society will have an entertainment-oriented cyberspace predominately, rather than one typified by listservs, Web pages for Chiapas rebels, labor organizing, etc. I think this is one of the worries I have over the TCI @home system for cable-based Internet services. They are building a parallel Internet basically, which will be able to provide isochronous higher-speed video and audio services. I don't imagine that these services will provide video of a series of talks on the future of the cityspace in London (an article talking about this upcoming series was in the Financial Times a couple weeks ago) but will be entertainment-oriented video comparable to the best of Stephen Bochco (Hill Street Blues, etc.) and the worst of Rupert Murdoch.
