        First of all, it sounds like BCST does more of the work for
the schools that AudioNet (I've been using the name when discussing
history) used to, at least as of two years ago when I last checked.

        Okay, I may sound like the Citizen's Committee for Free TV,
but right now if Cornell plays RPI I can listen to the Cornell feed
or the RPI one, both for free.  According you your plan, I'd have
fewer choices and have to pay for it.  Excuse me if I don't get
excited about the future of the internet.  Now, to me, "original
content" does not mean obtaining exclusive rights to something that
used to be unrestricted; if you want techno-fans on board, try
developing something new, like video.  (And without inserting TV
timeouts!)
