You are right. Video content tailored to every user is going to be the next killer app. Unfortunately, neither the telcos nor the cable companies quite get this. They are stuck to their "channels" and everything is priced in terms of channels. As far as Bittorrent goes, if you ever wanted to get content that is not available in the US, is there another choice?

Well, yet.And on-demand DVR-type thingsIMHO, this (no, not VoIP) is the killer app. Though I consider them still above the learning curve of most US consumers, the existence of the Slingbox and SageTV Placeshifter should indicate that we're getting close to the proverbial wall. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
