"The trend is very strong. It is our assessment that over three million
15-74-year-olds will be Web-TV users a year from now, and over one million will
be downloading TV programs," says Marie Nilsson, CEO for Mediavision.
Nilsson also contends that the rapidly growing online audience presents both incredible opportunities and new demands.
"It has to be easy for the user, and moreover, few are willing to pay."
