Re: Google video on your TV?

Ok so we do agree on allot of things. But I don't think the money is an issue in the sense that there is already money pumped into it. Part of any profit margin is always re-invested into the business to maintain and improve. It's gonna happen I swear it will... trust me! Also they could be add driven live conventional TV. Had it been a service for which people are willing to pay for like porn, well it would just be more money and faster development. It's gonna happen... Remember when you first tried voice chat over dial-up? Have you used video/voice chat recently? (I don't pay for my skype account)

I agree with you in the theoretical sense, but...
As long as you agree with me

EDIT: Clarification
By money pumped into it, and by re-invested profits, I'm talking about ISPs to support the increased traffic. I have no idea if Google Video or YouTube will ever make money.

 Ad-driven? Are you serious?

Listen to all the whining and screeching about ads online just at this website. Read the convoluted measures some take to keep ads from inflicting themselves upon their retinas.

Voice chat? Yet another toy.

Startup funds are irrelevant to long term viability. This has to make money as an ongoing operation, and the environment for any ad-supported "free" service on the Internet is extremely hostile. You won't be re-investing negative profits...and at some point that startup money wants its due.
