I love the comparison between the "free TV" model and magazines and books. Its obvious I suppose but I never picked it up.
I buy books and magazines, also music, but don't watch TV. I can page past adds in print and the music I buy has no adds. I do buy DVD's and even TV series. I like them but cannot watch TV because of the adds. I would pay to watch TV if it would ensure freedom from adds. I listen to the radio in the morning for news and traffic and kill it the moment the second add blares to life.
Now I'm not sure but I don't believe I am that unusual. A business model that supplies free content and so on but pays for it by shoving adds down my face horrifies me. I would rather go without quite frankly.
