The Rise of the Internetwork

Thomas Hawk writes "The Seattle Times is out with an article today profiling Jeremy Allaire, the founder of a new internet television company called Brightcove along with, well, a program on 'hog cooking' to be broadcast on the Barbeque Network by DaveTV. DaveTV and Brightcove, along with companies like Akimbo, Total Vid, Open Media Network and OurMedia are part of a growing new group of companies called internetworks that are seeking to compete with regular network television and offer alternative niche video content. Look for these offerings in your living room through platforms like TiVo and Microsoft's Media Center shortly."

    This Internetwork of which they speak sounds strangly... familiar. I think I've heard of this internetworking before somewhere, now if only I could put my finger on it... /sarcasm.

    im sorry, you clearly arent british. i think you will find a real 'cue has; 1)sausages. cheap nasty ones. you are going to incinerate them anyway, why pay more? possibly some chicken drumsticks if you are posh. 2)tomato ketchup. loads of it. remember, carbon tastes better with tomato flavour. 3)raging inferno. if your BBQ isnt blackening the neighbours fence, you obviously didnt pile the charcoal high enough. add more charcoal. you may need some sort of highly flammable substance to kickstart it again - send the kids indoors first. make sure the meat pours fat onto the coals for those unpredictable jumping flames. 4)rain. you must stay AT THE BARBECUE while the rest of the family cowers indoors from the torrential storm. frequently inform them 'its clearing up now' and 'its not cold anyway'. the barbecue should be sufficiently hot to withstand any rain.
