Faris / Liz (thanks for popping over!) - I was trying to keep it as simple as possible and tp present 3 prototype models. its always a question of how premium, or what personal info. I think I'd start with the personal info model as long as i get relevant, tasteful, good quality ads. but then thats really hard to find...

Faris / Liz (thanks for popping over!) – I was trying to keep it as simple as possible and tp present 3 prototype models. its always a question of how premium, or what personal info.

I think I’d start with the personal info model as long as i get relevant, tasteful, good quality ads. but then thats really hard to find…

Right now I'd happily pay to download the TV shows I like with ads in. It depends a bit what you mean by personal data - I'd never want to give anything up that would allow advertisers to contact me without my consent, and I'd never fill in pages of personal info and preferences like companies such as Yahoo try to get you to do, but I wouldn't mind ticking a few boxes before I downloaded a show to say for example I was interested in holidays or crime books this week. But like Faris says, I can download the stuff I like without ads from YouTube because the actual content providers are just being to slow off the mark. And by the time they get round to it I'll already have a bunch of online contacts in the USA who can ftp me free, and ad-free, content and vice versa. I suppose it's about convenience and options - negotiating that is going to be hard for content providers. Interesting topic!

But I accept this isn't really a sustainable business model for content creation. So I guess, in the future, I'd like a hybrid of the latter two - I would want to keep control of my data, have things negotiated by intelligent software at my end of the transaction, not the advertisers, and then subscribe to relevant, personalised streams of content built around my claimed and assumed preferences.
