It was the worlds first video journalist network. The idea was to cover news and sell the service to news organizations. One day, a young intern (实习生) who was working for us named Anthony Lappe pulled me aside. There is something you have to see, he told me. Comcast is doing this really cool thing. What? The Internet, he said. Its going to be really big. Anthony later introduced me to the head of the Internet project. We are looking for content to put on our network here, the guy said to me. Well, I said I had lots of content to offer. The guys eyes lit up. Cool, he said. We would like to put it on our network. Well, I was always looking for new clients. What are you going to pay? I asked. He said that they could not pay anything for the content, but they would set up a URL for me. Whats that? I asked. Its kind of like your address on the web. What would I do with this URL thing? Well, it could be your business. I dont see how it is a business, and theres not even any advertising, I cleverly replied. Not yet, he said. But one day there might be. I thought about it for two seconds. Naah... I said. Ive got bigger fish to fry. Ive got to be going now. Maybe we can cooperate next time. And I walked out. Idiot!
