Following up on the Publishing 2.0 article, the NY Times writes, “Someone Has to Pay for TV. But Who? And How?” Apparently, there’s a patent application in the works from Royal Phillips Electronics, where “the proposed design would uphold the right to avoid commercials, but only for those who paid a fee. Those disinclined to pay would be prevented from changing channels during commercials. If the viewer tried to circumvent the system by recording the program and skipping the ads during playback, the new, improved recorder would detect when a commercial segment was being displayed and disable the fast-forward button for the duration.” Yet another reason to not own a TV.
