Harry, basic TV econ is that on average every half hour you watch is worth about .25-.40 cents, in advertising.

That part of the model can’t change. And it doesn’t include delivery. Now there are many ways to recover the amount of money:

You could pay it.
You could watch 16 :30 second ads per half hour.
You could fork over personal data and see less ads.

Which do you prefer? Ultimately if Cable / Fios / Wimax gives you those 3 choices and compete against each other to lower the added cost of delivery, will you be happy?

The user interface is absolutely TERRIBLE for Comcast’s onDemand TV service. They had better improve it for their online service or it will never become popular.

The conspiracy theorists will also love the fact that Comcast’s Fancast features/syndicates/licenses Hulu content.
