I agree with Eric Schmidt!

Look at television. Isn’t it the largest revenue generating advertising market? Internet is the fastest growing? Put the two together, what do you get…?

I think they just have to figure out a way to maximize their distribution channel. They’re innovative. They’ll figure out a way.
