You only partner when you can't afford to beat or buy.
Google shouldn't be doing that for quite some time - they've got cash, and they've got talent, and they've got the time to use both.
Actually, a company like BITV is more like internet cable access...
Hardware Support Lacking

The supported hardware list seems to indicate that at least one common laptop maker may not be supported very well (supported inspiron 3200, partially supported LS L400, no other details). Hopefully as they get bigger, they'll be able to devote time and resources needed to get running on some of the newer laptops coming out...
I agree - some people will be successful no matter what stupid things they do. Some people do need University to prepare for the 'real world' - others are so smart that they can do well without it.
It misses a more significant benefit of University, anyway - networking with peers. Sure, you can learn almost anything in a book, but can you meet a business student soon to command a VC funding agency? Sure can't.

Actually, the smart money is on either a VOIP firm or a larger hosting provider.
They've been buying dark fiber for a while. They also became a domain registrar. Fiber + domains = hosting, almost every time.
If I were EV1, ServINT, ThePlanet, GoDaddy, ServerBeach, etc, I'd be hoping for the phone call.

Traditional blogs are going to change. Photoblogs are getting big. With any luck, video blogs are going to be huge.

I don't know, pulling 50M in funding and blowing it on the things that matter (fast cars, fast women) sounds pretty fun to me.
Yea, you're right, there are alternatives, but a smart person can ride the network to success.
