IF the engineers at EDIG can create a wireless system that runs off a central site, not requiring all the hardwiring to individual seats, and combine that internet connection through the digEplayer, then you have two devices in one.
I believe there is a charge for internet connection. Al El is going that route and charging anywhere from $9 to $29 for the service. With our ``pretend`` scenario, those that don`t want or need the internet have plenty of content on the player itself, but those that need the internet also have the option in the same device.
That`s how I envision it anyways.
