It’s 6:20 at Heathrow, from which I’ll soon depart. Got to spend much of the last two days in the company of Bob Frankston, whose understanding of the Net is challenging and far-reaching to say the least. His latest is Video Tipping Point Near? I think the answer is yes, simply because it will dawn on customers that subordinating the Internet to a zillion channels of live video — nearly all of which are not being watched at any given time — is both silly and wasteful. (Even if it wasn’t terribly mismanaged as well.) “Near” may be a few years long, but the dawn is coming.

Anyway, got a plane to catch. See ya stateside.
