I appreciate Keith's statements, but it sure is curious that Penton-Man talks about bringing incentives to the table but claims there is more money in "soft red suitcases" if it's only a question of pricing and interactivity that are destined to be delivered in the near term anyway.

Penton's statements and the common interpretation of kjack's statements appear to be contradictory is all I'm saying. YMMV.

Considering the Paramount/DW announcement, anyone want to rethink the importance of incentives? It ain't about pie-in-the-sky idealism. The reason Uni didn't go neutral is because the BDA didn't offer enough. What is it worth now? Buying Uni's neutrality several months ago would have made the battle over before Paramount/DW could throw a wrench in the works.
