There is no doubt that the Internet will go through some vast changes, very similar to what our phone companies have gone through when cell phones become common place. The phone companies used to charge us per minute. Truth is that phone line was there and ready to be used no matter if it was used or not. Cell phone companies came on line and changed everything; I have pay one flat fee per month for nearly unlimited phone calls.
The same thing will happen to the Internet. Bandwidth prices continue to drop. We'll get to the point where they can supply umlimited bandwidth for a flat fee.
As for the Internet itself, I'm sure lots will change. But we'll never go to a "TV format"; The beauty of the Internet is that anyone can make a web page, put it on line, and let the world see it.
All of the virus and spyware crap will be gone in the next ten years.
