The subscription model will weaken, at least in the concept of joining a set of sites that updates periodically. VOD will become a lot more prevalent as bandwidth increases.

This is the closest to an accurate answer to Dave's question that I can tell. The one thing that no one seems to be addressing is how we will utilize the social networking phenomenon that the internet has created to our favor and learn to develop new business models that will figure out the best way to monetize possibly the fastest growing area of the internet as a whole.
