there are a number of possible scenarios:
1. the service providers may be able to charge a small fee for TV usage 
(e.g., one yen per minute).
2. they may be able to offer paid content that builds off television programs.
3. they might charge less for program minutes (number 1) in which they 
believe they can sell additional content (number 2).
4. advertisers might pay the service providers for the additional viewers 
particularly if the service providers can offer them info about the viewers.
