The problem with the "eventually" theory is you need somebody that can actually manage all of that... the program would be to pay an employee to actually give a shit about the success of the company. An employee like that is extremely difficult to find. With affiliates, you don't have to worry about that... they control their fate.

Billboard advertising agencies are brokers. They have existed for years. Mainstream ad networks are brokers. They have existed for years.

We disagree. :-)
