>>You don't really know what the CEO actually believes because saying the Internet is a fad plays directly into his market (the cable companies).

I'm willing to bet that he actually believes this.

I just can't imagine how he could. I can understand him saying this because it makes a lot of business sense considering the company's position, but someone so involved in content delivery cannot possibly believe internet delivery is just a fad. They invested in HBO Go ahead of many of their rivals, so it seems like they actually understand the future, they are just afraid to talk about it now because the rest of the world isn't ready.
